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,

My favorite LP for 2008? I have two. One recorded 20 years ago and re-issued just a few months ago. The other, a used original pressing, was recorded in 1989 and given to me by Bruce of Stereo Unlimited. The first is the 20th Anniversary 45 RPM re-issue of Famous Blue Raincoat. Simply stunning from performance to pressing quality to sonics. The other is an equally impressive Harmonia Mundi pressing of solo Lute Music by Giovanni Kapsberger, an unknown composer to me, recorded in Michigan of all places. Fabulous performance and recording!
