What's Your Favorite Vinyl That Never Made It To CD or Digital?

Tufano & Giammarese

Philip Catherine “Nairam”

Stomu Yamashta. “Go”

Pet Shop Boys - Very Relentless. It was released as a special edition double CD back in 1993. Very is available in all formats but Relentless has never been released digitally since then.

Buckingham Nicks. Would like to see an authentic release of this great LP on CD without it being bootlegged

EQT.....Eric Quincy Tate

"Lonesome George" Gobel - In Person "At the Sands", Decca 1961 mono.

I don't think the double "Winwood" LP (1971) was ever officially released on CD.

I have what appears to be a Japanese bootleg of it on 2 CD's, but the graphics and sound quality are definitely not Scottish.

I listen to it (the CD) anyway for convenience.

DeKay

dekay ...according to Allmusic, "Winwood" was issued on CD in 2007, your disc might not be a bootleg....

Mitch:

This is the album I reference (see link below), and it’s one of my favorites as it portrays the progression of the Winwood’s artistry.

The sound quality of the Japanese CD I own is REALLY BAD, thus I assumed that it was a boot, but IT WAS produced in Japan (CD) per the following link.

No hard case, just a plastic sleeve with a cardboard double foldout (think it may have come with the the thin promo strip, forget what it’s called, often accompanying Japanese LP’s/CD’s, but can't find it now).

If my copy is not a boot I would warn others of paying big bucks for what I own as the sound quality is really crappy (think I paid around $50/shipped, but have seen them listed, years ago, for 4X+ that amount).

Just checked and it's all on a single CD (VICY-93343 Paul Weller & Mod Connection).

Thought it was a 2 CD set, but must have confused it with something else (listening to it now as I type on the mini system I recently set up for my wife @ the computer).

Another one is a 10 LP box set (10 years of Ferrat) that I have of Jean Ferrat.

This is not to be confused with the single LP/CD of a similar name as this is a TEN/10 LP box set.

Awesome stuff, for my taste.

I second Go

Correction to my Winwood post...

"VICY-93343" should be "UICY-93343", per my reading glasses.

“Newbury Sings His Own” - Mickey Newbury
It’s not on CD, iTunes or Spotify, and only the awesome highlight “Weeping Annaleah” from this LP is on YouTube, nothing else.

The best version of “Sweet Memories” is here (my goodness what extraordinary singing! - the vocal sound/recording is equally amazing -wow)

I cool, aggressive take on his “Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In” is also here, as well as a tremendous Mickey Newbury/TownesVan Zandt composition, “The Queen.”

One issue, 1972 (US, UK, South Africa, and a Japanese promo) and that’s it

David Foreman (David Foreman on Arista)

Richard Davis - Philosophy of the Spiritual

Another good album that got one issue (1969 US & Canada) that, interestingly enough also features a version of Mickey’s “Sweet Memories” is “Good Times” by Willie Nelson.

One of the more…um…interesting…choices for album art you’ll see.

Glad I could help…another Audiogon member turned me on to Discogs recently to help me find a long out of print CD.

As you can see, the admins here are paranoid. 
LOL!!

Roadmaster ... a local Indianapolis band

Mitch:

Received the box set this afternoon and the first two (all are remastered) disks sound really, really good.

DeKay

dekay,

…wow, that was fast!  I’m glad it worked out for you.

An Audiogon member, stuartk, turned me on to Discogs in another post I’d made about out of print cd’s.  Because of him, I was able to find about a half dozen discs that I was sure I’d never see again…all at great prices.  So you see why I was obligated to turn you on…now it’s your turn to pass the word to the next soul looking for his hard to find music.

Way too many to even start

Great topic and + 1 on Buckingham Nicks.

Rhythm Corps - "Esprit de Corps"

The Spoons - "Bridges Over Borders"

Ian Thomas Band - "Riders on Dark Horses"

I second that Buckingham/Nicks LP.  Loved it from first listen.  Fleetwood Mac would not have had their success without them.  I did like the early version of FM too with Peter Green.
