| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear While T Bone Burnett is a pretty well known name, it is more for his production work (the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack, Elvis Costello's King Of America album, Peter Case's debut, many others) than his own albums.The first I heard of Burne... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Glad to be of help @artemus_5 ! You make a couple of great points, including the matter of a band being entertaining. NRBQ's albums contain a fair amount of humor, but live is a whole 'nother matter. They are by far the most fun band I've seen liv... | |

| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Every LP is of course the end product of a number of separate manufacturing steps. And the term "master tape" has a couple of equally valid definitions: since the introduction of first the 3-track machine---then the 4-track, 8-track, 16-track, etc... | |
| Groundbreaking albums. Any genre. - Elvis Presley: s/t debut. He and his band mixed black R & B with white Hillbilly, creating Rockabilly and all the Rock ’n’ Roll that followed. Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others followed Presley’s lead.- Bob Dylan: Blonde... | |

| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @richopp: Yes! Direct-2-discs LP’s are the highest-fidelity music source I’ve heard. And not just Sheffields; I have a few on Crystal Clear and Vandersteen that are equally great.@mattz: If you read all the entries on this thread, you’ll find a pr... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear All right, this artist may not be obscure to some of you, but I believe the album will be:St. Giles Cripplegate by Jack Nitzsche with The London Symphony Orchestra.Neil Young fans will recognize the name Jack Nitzsche from the Harvest album, upon ... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @edcyn, small world: I too lived in the Valley for years. Sherman Oaks, Burbank, and Glendale, mostly. I then bought a house up in the Foothills above Glendale, in Tujunga. A lot of musicians live up there.Van Dyke’s Song Cycle is an acquired tast... | |
| I wish these albums were available on vinyl All of Iris Dement’s albums. I have a white label promo copy of her The Way I Should album, sent to radio stations only, never available on LP commercially. All her output has been on CD only, that alone necessitating and justifying ownership of a... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear I don’t know that I would call Sincerely by The Dwight Twilley Band an obscure album (it isn’t amongst "my type"), but I sure concur with the opinion of @buckroe. It is in my Top 10 albums of all-time list, an incredible melding of 1950’s Rock ’n’... | |

| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @edcyn beat me to Song Cycle by Van Dyke Parks, an album unlike any other you have heard, I guarantee you. For another dose of this near-genius, listen to the Smile boxset. Smile was Van Dyke and Brian Wilson’s never completed concept album, the t... | |

He has had a number of his songs recorded by others (including The Dixie Chicks, from whom I learned of him), often becoming hit records. I understand he is also a m... |
