Description
Artist: THE LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH
Title: “Is Nothing Sacred?”
Label: IRS ~ SP 70039. Stereo pressing. No bar code.
Year: 1983.
NOTE: This album came from the extensive personal collection of the former owner of a chain of retail music stores who retired from the business in the early 80’s. The albums have been stored virtually untouched and unplayed since that time in a climate controlled, non-smoking environment. We are in the process of selling many investment grade colored vinyl LPs, promos, sealed LPs, and other rare memorabilia from this collection. If you desire MINT albums, you will not be disappointed.
Condition:
Album is STILL SEALED in original factory shrink wrap. Shrink wrap is clean and bright, fully intact. Hype sticker at upper right, and there is a tiny cut-out notch at bottom right.
A scarce pressing to begin with, and rarer yet to find one in unplayed, factory sealed condition after all these years. This is one for the archives!

Review:
“The shadow of the Rolling Stones, the classic role model for bands who embrace rock's scuzzy, dangerous, vaguely satanic side, looms large over Lords of the New Church's second album. The influence of Mick Jagger on Stiv Bators' lippy, sneering delivery has never been more apparent. Brian James emulates Keith Richards' rhythm-oriented guitar parts, leaving Dave Tregunna's bass as the lead instrument. Nicky Turner may not be Charlie Watts (who is?), but he provides a dependable backbeat. Is Nothing Sacred even offers such Stones-y song titles as "Black Girl/White Girl," "Goin' Downtown," and "Partners in Crime." You'd hope this was a conscious homage, but it sounds more like the Lords were having trouble deciding on a direction and fell back on old habits. Still, if Is Nothing Sacred were a Stones album, it'd be a pretty good one, well played and entertaining throughout. "Dance with Me" -- funky, slinky, and goth-tinged with lyrics that invoke voodoo and bondage -- is one of the Lords' best songs and, coincidentally, one of their biggest hits. "Live for Today," a surprisingly straight cover of the Grass Roots classic with slick production and keyboards by Todd Rundgren, closes the album on an uplifting though incongruous note. As a follow-up to the Lords' promising debut, Is Nothing Sacred isn't a disaster, but it is a small step backward, rather than forward.”
