In the 2nd part of 1981 album releases, the months of June-early October are covered.  Well known acts such as the Rolling Stones released an album, as did relatively unknown acts (at that time) like Prince.  What did teenage Joe think of all of these releases, and how far would his $5 weekly allowance take him in purchasing all of the music he wanted?
