What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well?


I happened to be scrolling through Napster in the Red Garland section and found "Red Alert", an album that I bought on vinyl in 1978 when I had a Sansui 771 receiver, Technics turntable with Shure V15 Type III, and generic 12 inch 3-way speakers.  I remember that I'd heard a tune from the album on the local FM jazz station and went out and bought the album the same day.  I hadn't listened to the album in 30 years.  I cued it up on Napster and sat down and listened to it.  Tidal and Amazon do not have this recording.  It was a pleasant listening experience, but nothing that would make me want to buy it today if I didn't own it....and if I never hear it again, I won't miss it.  For the life of me I can't remember what tune on the LP convinced me to buy it.  Back in 1978, I was very discriminating how I spent my money on recordings because I was recently out of college....and a music purchase had to really count.

Do you have any recordings that didn't age well in this regard?

…that album is going for $20-50 on eBay.

Cash out on eBay and buy an album  you’d want to keep.

@mitch4t It’s value on eBay is of no interest to me, especially in that price range. But thanks for the info. 

All the "new romantics" albums of the early 80s. The drum machines and cheap synths aged as well as Flock of Seagull's hairdos. Cheers,

I love Red Garland, have several of his LP's. I'll find my copy of Red Alert, play it, let you know what I like about it.
