Wish List For Vinyl Pressings



Vinyl is king. Lets make it bigger and better.

With the huge resurgence of vinyl pressings new, reissue, 45RPM Lp's and specialty box sets, not to mention turntable sales, we are certainly living in the great second life of the analogue vinyl Lp album. All this and the abundance of used records is wonderful.

Here's the thing, I was thinking that the industry could use a list by us of albums that would be well received if put to press. Who else but a group of AudioGoners to offer up a wish list. This helps everyone, the artist, the record industry, the record stores and us the music lovers. Everyone wins.

Please keep with a couple of simple guide lines to make this an easy read for those industry guys. This is a list of titles that have never been on vinyl or are out of print, or very, very rare items. This should be record titles, artist names, maybe even catalog numbers if the item had previously been in press. Lets keep the banter to a bare minimum, if you would. The hope is that this will be read by the right folks and we will see (and hear) all this great stuff on our favorite format.

Happy Listing & Happy Listening, as always!

Personally, I would love for some of the 90's pop like:

Counting Crows -- August and Everything After
Smashing Pumpkins -- Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness
Beck -- Mellow Gold
Ben Folds -- Whatever and Ever, Amen

The prices eBay are a bit wild, and you know those Pumpkins records are just sitting on some uberfan's shelf untouched. (the non bootleg ones anyway)
The Tom Waits Orphans collection was way up on my list, but it just recently was released.
