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,

Raul,
Tsai Chin is a "gOLDen" girl. Another singer you might want to have a listen to is Teresa Teng. Some of her earlier pressings go for hundreds of dollars on ebay. She has passed on ... :(

Lou Reed/ John Cale : Songs for Drella reissue from orig mastertapes 180 Gm vinyl just puts my skin out of there... beautiful...
Jack Johnson, all four of his albums after hearing him on Pandora radio. One of the albums is noisey though, kind of disappointing.

Cat Power You Are Free is also very good, but this is the other new album that I bought that was noisey.
Based on the recommendation here and the Hoffman forum I bought the drive by truckers "brighter than creation's dark" and agree that the sonics are great. Record is not my thing though but can see the craftmanship

The hendrix axis bold as love mono 200 grams I found was my pic
For the year

By the way, anyone want mint double lp drive by truckers for $20 with $3 shipping lemme know
