Regrets, I've had a few...


So, what LP or CD do really wish you still had. Maybe you traded it in on new tunes after not listening to it for years and now wish you had it back. Maybe you gave it to a girlfriend who subsequently dumped you. Or maybe it simply disappeared into the black hole that was your first dorm room. Wherever it went, what are you really missing these days?

To get the ball rolling, I'd probably point to my white vinyl original pressing of Be Bop Deluxe "Live in the Air Age." Or the LP of Van Morrison "Tupelo Honey" (the CD sound can't compare.) Or maybe the first Stephen Stills LP. Or ...

I still enjoy "live in the air age", although it on black vinyl. They were a great band. Bill Nelson also did some interesting solo stuff...
I've been blessed, every lp, I've lost, I have been able to recover SOMEHOW IN THIS GREAT BIG WORLD, Thanks to Ebay!!!, And when I listen to these LP gems, IT STILL TAKES MY BREATH AWAY, SUCH GOD GIVEN TALENT, ICON NATURALS, KRIS JENSEN, RAL DONNAR, TERRY STAFFORD, NAZZ, JUST A FEW TO MENTION AND OF COURSE KRELL, JPS, AND MARTIN LOGAN, HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH IT TO!!! LIFE IS GOOD
RE: Be Bop Deluxe, The UK pressing of "Live in the Air Age" on the EMI/Harvest CD [CDP 7947322] will easily better the quality of either the white or black American vinyl [compressed as hell]. Please DO NOT confuse the quality of this import CD with that of the One Way Records CD fidelity, which is pure S**T!
Bootleg tape of an album w/ Geoff and Maria Muldeir(I am spelling their last name wrong) and many other talented musicians who I am not as familar with. I remember two songs in particular-Blue Railway train and Dardinella. It was given to me when I was very young and I listened to it daily. I remember all the songs, but few of the titles. I do not know the name of the album- even then it was dated. I do remember being extremely suprised that this was(in the case of Blue Railway Train) the same woman who sang a very popular song on the radio, and one that I happened to dislike intensely. Anyway, I had the tape until recently. No title on it because I knew what it was, and I still enjoyed it very very much even as the sound quality had deteriated over the years of use. I regret its loss.
My major regret is allowing friends, and friends of friends to have access to my record collection in college. I lost a quarter of my collection to one of my roomate's friends. When confronted, he denied taking them. I exacted payment of a sort, but I never saw those records again. One of them was a perfect copy of Ellen McIlwaine's Honky Tonk Angel. I had to replace it with an inferior copy and have never seen one as good the original. Other sob stories omitted for sanity's sake.
