What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008

Not the single best album, but I purchased a fairly large collection that included 6 sealed Mel Torme albums on the Bethelehm and Verve labels from the 50's and 60's.

Still sealed BTW.

Cat Power - You Are Free

a nice full tone and one of her best...

Sarah McLachlan, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and The Freedom Sessions, 2 LP set

db,

Yeah, Wilco - Sky Blue Sky is a real gem. This instrumental finish to Impossible Germany is sublime. One of the most underrated bands IMO. Maybe if they get to play the Obama inauguration, the press coverage will find them some new fans. Jeff Tweedy was great on the Colbert Report recently!

Cheers,
Spencer

Art Pepper + 11, Count Basie - 88 Basie St and the 45 RPM version of Coltrane's Blue Trane.

Way too many to think of. But off the top of my head

" the Gutter twins" LP. aka Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan making haunting dark music like no one else.

The Columbia (6 eye) box set of the complete works of Anton Webern from the late 50's (I think).

My Little Honey warped as well! {Side note, I just picked up at Thorens 145mkII and it tracks this nicely! My old Pioneer couldn't play that album.}

My best pick up this year: Wilco, Sky Blue Sky.

Second the Raconteurs. Also Lucinda Williams "Little Honey".

I, also, am enjoying the Shelby "can't roll a joint on an iPod" Lynne - Just a Little Lovin'.
