Not sure if you know but "Car Wheels on Gravel Road" has just been reissued on Music on Vinyl: http://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/lucinda-williams/car-wheels-on-a-gravel-road#.U--oabySwyA There is a lot of reissuing going on at the moment - I hope extends to early Felt LPs. For some dumb reason I failed to get some of their early LPs at the time eg Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty, The Strange Idols Pattern and Other Short Stories or Ignite the Seven Cannons. |
"I'll never again touch anything(remixes/remasters) that Kevin Gray, or Steve Hoffman, have had anything to do with" Seconded. I'll add most Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab LPs to that as well. The latest Dylan "Blood On The Tracks"? Nice job thoroughly sanitizing and sucking every ounce of life out of the recording. The original cheap Columbia blows the MFSL away. Fremer is quite apparently deaf. |
Beautiful Freak from The Eels DreamWorks Records DRLP-50001 (1996)vinyl consistently pulls just shy of four hundred bucks a copy in M- (ish shape) and good luck finding one. Daisies Of The Galaxy by The Eels on Bong Load Records BL47 is another. I loved Bong Load Custom Records!!! Lovely slabs of black beauty, thick stock/high gloss gatefolds, outstanding quality... Happy Listening! ;^)> |
So many quality jazz artists, with cd releases, but little on vinyl. Maybe, too small a market. Linda Oh.. Kenny Garret...Fred Hirsch...Christian Mcbride ...Avashai Cohen and his sister Anat Cohen...Jeremy Pelt...Marcus Miller...live Marsalis...Sean Jones...Ben Allison...Roy Hargrove...Aaron Parks.. Ambrose Akinmusire... Brad Mehldau... Brian Lynch... Chris Potter... Cyrus Chestnut... Dave Douglas... Gene Harris live... Jacky Terrasson... Jim Rotondi... Joe Lovano... Joshua Redman.. The Brecker Brothers... Tomasz Stanko...and so many more. I am a huge jazz fan, especially of the bebop era, but how many pressings of Kind Of Blue and Giant Steps do we need? These young talented artists are so deserving of a larger exposure. Maybe vinyl releases would help. |
This is tough as so much is being re-issued. I just picked up the Bauhaus re-issues and Fields was great but Mask was awful. I think this is a trick to the re-issues
who's doing it, is it quality, and are they mastering to their own ear. In the spirit of the thread I pick: Scratch Acid and Camper Van Beethoven |
I wanted an album on vinyl so bad, I started a vinyl label! That was 7 or 8 years ago, but since then, it seems that the labels I like have regularly been issuing vinyl, which is nice. (Small Stone, Tee Pee, etc.) I wish they would remaster for vinyl (I do- it makes a difference), but at least the vinyl is being made now. (I listen to mostly bands on smaller labels... definitely not the norm for a'gon.) |
Govt Mule's debut album Jazz at the Pawn Shop Grace Potter "Nothing But The Water" Emmylou Harris's "Wrecking Ball." Kathleen Edwards "Asking for Flowers" Van Morrison "Healing Game" I would buy all of the list above. The Beatles have had their reissues reissued, and licensing will be difficult if not impossible. |
All the Buddy Rich albums he did on World Pacific Jazz, 1966-1970. The World Pacific/Liberty/Blue Note library is now owned by Capitol/EMI. Capitol proved they could make a great reissue with the 40th anniversary Dirt Band "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?", remastered at Bernie Grundman studios. I'd also like to see Cat Stevens' "Catch Bull at Four" and "Teaser and the Firecat" get the same treatment as the recent Tea for the TIllerman remaster. |
