 HURRY UP MODE by BUCK-TICK

B-T's indies album in its 2nd release. Dunno who B-T is?! ::gasps:: Oh, my! They're one of the pioneer visual-kei bands along with X and all of them!!! This is a great album and comes with both a (VERY 80's) picture booklet and a separate lyrics booklet. This was when Atsushi was jaw-dropping FINE and there's a really cute pic in the lyrics booklet ^_^ and a very funny, very YANKEE pic of B-T in there too!!! LOL!!!!

 JAPAN by Gilles de Rais (mini album)

Price: $5

Gilles de Rais was one of the bands signed to X's famous indies record label Extasy Records. Other bands signed on in indies days were Luna Sea and Glay. I always thought "so what happened to Gilles de Rais if LS and Glay are so famous?" ... but who knows?

INTO THE VALLEY OF DOLLS by Penicillin

This is probably Penicillin's most well-known fan piece (besides the crazy Romance PV) and their FC is named after a song on it. Uh huh.. Hakuei looked like a rich French lady, Chisato looked like he came straight from the grave, Gisho was a whip-cracking military officer, and O-Jiro could've been someone's mom. (XD) What a band. Needless to say the photobook is absolutely hilarious for me ^_^
