Never intentially. I guess if hearing a single or a track on the radio, then I have. I would catagorize that as discovering. I've never had to hear a long player before purchasing though, and yes shiny covers have influenced blind buys my whole life.
Which artists' music do you buy without audition
We all have our favorite artists and often have large collections of music by them. Name some who when a new cd or vinyl comes out you will buy without hesitation, audition or others' opinions.
Emmylou Harris is one of those for me.

Probably not many Bjork fans at Audiogon but for those that are, the new 45 RPM vinyl DMM masters from GB are reported to be her best sound ever. I searched the usual music vendors, most selling at retail $45.00 each and already sold out of many of the titles. Then I noticed a link to One Little Indian USA who have the entire Bjork British DMM library at a 25% discount, no tax and a good ship rate. OLI USA website |
I think there's something to be said for Jaybo's shopping method. On a recent trip to Brazil I was in a used record store looking at rock LP's from the 70's through the early 90's. Not able to read or speak Portuguese I found myself attracted to certain album art. There were two things I found quite amazing. 1) What an incredibly good job the VPI 16.5 record cleaner can do on what looks like an LP suitable only for the grave. 2) I hit above 80% liking vs. not liking the music based solely on the look of the album art. |
