What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008


For purposes of holiday "Wish List" building, with BOTH excellent music and excellent sonics as criteria, what is the best LP you've bought this year?

For me, it's Shelby Lynne - Just a Little Lovin'

Cheers,

LP vs CD of Sky Blue Sky (2007) depends entirely on your set-up. Both are great, with LP sounding more expansive & richer & bit less aggressive on my system.

The big score LP of '08 is probably the $100 Dylan Tell Tale Signs box, though I have so far only heard the excellent sounding 2-CD set.

Ditto above praise for Ray Davies Workingman's Cafe. Other fine '08 releases include John Hiatt Same Old Man, Lou Reed Berlin Live at St. Ann's Warehouse, Steven Malkmus Real Emotional Trash, Shearwater Rook, Mercury Rev Snowflake Midnight, Calexico Carried to Dust.
Forgot The Pretenders Break Up the Concrete double LP. Wonderful live-in-studio sound. Lucinda should send Crissie a thank you note for paving the way.
