first vinyl purchase for new tt

Hard to go wrong with Steely Dan: Aja Std domestic ABC
Hugh Masekala: Hope
Elton John : Honkey Chateau
Aerosmith: Toys in the Attic
Fleetwood Mac: S/T or Rumors
The Doors: S/T, Strange Days, LA Woman
Eva Cassidy: Songbird
Joni Mitchell: Court & Spark
Jimi Hendrix : Axis bold as love
CCR: Willy & the poor boys

I know alot of people here, and everywhere else, love Aja, but IMHO, it has got to be the most boring and trite of all Steely Dan's work.

Joni Mitchell: Blue, Don Juan's.....
Fleetwood Mac: anything pre Buckingham/Nicks
Elton John: Tumbleweed Connection
Waterboys: Fisherman's Blues
CCR: none....

Metalllica is re releasing older albums on nice heavy vinyl.

lindisfarne is spot on. buy the tunes you really dig, and don't be concerned about the recording.

well i dont know what you like! Mingus "ah um" is a treat on vinyl. An orignal Television "Marquee Moon" is nice. The rca bartok reiner "music for stings, percussion and celeste is wonderful, but you know, this is all my taste. Lots of great sounding records out there that are great musically. My only advice is never buy a record just becau of the sonics. Buy the music.
