Orchestre National De lOpera de Monte-Carlo ~Richard Bonynge London/Decca 1989 Here's a start |
Mosin, thanks. I do own Wrecking Ball, Nothing but a Burning Light, and Beautiful Freak, all on low volume, hard to find Netherlands pressings and I realize their value. I love the music and would hope to have a pristine copy and of course, for others to be able to have a copy for less than a hundred a piece or so. Happy (analogue) Listening! |
Van (the man) Morrison- Poetic Champions Compose 1987 Hymns to the Silence 1991 Too Long in Exile 1993 Days Like This 1995 The Philosopher's Stone (1969-88) 1998 Polydor All great albums that are hard to find and in good shape, and in the case of the last title, a two disc set, spans almost thirty years of his career and to the best of my knowledge has never been pressed on vinyl. Happy (analogue) Listening! |
Emorrisiv, Look also for the UK press Chris Isaak - Wicked Game on Reprise GEMA/BIEM 1991, it has a different play list than "Heart shaped World" including an (instrumental) rendition of the song "Wicked Game" and a stunning cover of the Yardbirds "Heart Full of Soul". I think it is pretty hard to find also, yet worth it. Has his "Forever Blue" ever been put to vinyl? Wicked Game"" would also be an excellent candidate for reissue. Hey why not give it the full monty... 45RPM by Acoustic Productions?! [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_Game_(album)[/url] Happy Hunting & Listening! |
So many things by Yusef Lateef are either hard to find and/or pressings sound less than optimum, especially some of the Impulse! vinyls. Titles like Eastern Sounds form 1961 Prestige/OJC would be well worth a quality pressing, this is an amazing record. In 1957 on Savoy Jazz the Jazz Moods title is another beauty and Yusef's Live at Pep's of 1964 was a fine example of just how diverse his talents are as a multi-instrumentalist from tenor sax, flute, bassoon, and bamboo flute, and oboe etc. This was Mr. Lateef at some of his finest. CD's just wouldn't portray these performances at their best. I hope to see the record folks take some of these more seriously. I saw Yusef in Detroit at the 2007 Jazz Festival in his eight-seventh year and this man amazed me with his diverse mastery of instruments and spoken word poetry in between songs, he was sharp, vital, and loving in his handling of the music. I feel blessed to having experienced him live for the second time. I hope this music is not left to lose. Happy Listening! |
Ssayeed... are you aware of these? http://store.acousticsounds.com/index.cfm?get=results&categoryid=Any&searchField=Any&searchtext=Oliver+Nelson&search.x=5&search.y=7 The two 12" 45RPM version is splendid to my ears. Happy Listening! |
Ok, I know this thread has been dormant for some time but... Well, it has been a wait, and we win again, Luna's bewitched comes out this Tuesday on vinyl Lp for the first time ever!!! Vernneal, evidently you misunderstood the point of this thread...it was music that you wish was on vinyl, but is not, or is so rare that it is cost and sourced prohibitive, but that's ok. Fortunately no one (or their wallet) will have to die for acquiring this list of goodies. Happy Listener! |
Beautiful Freak from The Eels DreamWorks Records DRLP-50001 (1996)vinyl consistently pulls just shy of four hundred bucks a copy in M- (ish shape) and good luck finding one. Daisies Of The Galaxy by The Eels on Bong Load Records BL47 is another. I loved Bong Load Custom Records!!! Lovely slabs of black beauty, thick stock/high gloss gatefolds, outstanding quality... Happy Listening! ;^)> |
