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!

I have picked up many LP's this year as well. Most, if not all, not new releases. I was lucky to get a NM+ promotional copy of Robbie Robertson's first solo. Sound is fantastic. Also got a few Micheal Hedges that are also NM.

Too many to list what's the best...... Kinda like asking who's your favorite artist, or your favorite (insert instrument here) player

Since it's still 2008, I'll throw this one in also. I just received a copy of Shawn Colvin's first LP. Got it off fleabay. It was listed as VG++ for 5 bucks. I thought, what the heck. Well, it got here yesterday. Turns out, it was a sealed promo copy..... SCORE!

Oh, it sounds great...

Dear Spencer: I don't thing make any harm to put some other LPs: Esther Ofarim, Chie Ayado-Love ( that piano on the tittle track: lovely! ), Radka Toneff- Fairitales, Jheena Lodwick-All my loving and this one that I don't know the artristy name because everything come in Chinese the only reference is the label: Better Music, BM-208003, yes is a chinese female singer.

Regards and enjoy the music.
