How's about Fairground Attraction's First Of A Million Kisses? I have an original pressing bought bakc when it came out and it sounds like crap, mostly because of sibilance. I think it's a great record and well recorded, and could do with a audiophile makeover.
And last, no, Judee at 45 RPM is not Andre on IMAX. Believe me, you're going to understand once you hear them. There's a ton of inner detail and dimensionality people haven't ever experienced from these LPs, and 45 RPM gets it all.
PS- sorry for disappearing. I usually get an email when someone posts to this thread, but I didn't get one for weeks and also had to get a new computer.
Cool! They are some what of a one hit wonder, but the album is great as a whole. This is the hit: But there's also this one, for example: Fairground Attraction - Find My Love Eddi Reader is such a great singer.
Seriously? 4 Men With Beards? That's like asking if Sizzler uses Kobe beef. If you're LUCKY, 4 Men With Beards used the CD as their master.
Will Ferguslie Park be making an appearance on hybrid SACD? I enjoyed the Stealers Wheel self-titled one.
I thought I had all Mark Lanegan's solo albums but I have missed this one. What's the title and on which label?
Glad Toad is being repressed finally... Remains to be seen if they do quality pressings. Weird that both AIC and the Damien Rice album are off limits, but have yet to be released. It's frustrating if these are being held off for legal reasons.
I crossed the streams on you. The bulk of my record collection is in boxes in my garage for another month or so. But I'm thinking of Lanegan's compilation box set Has Good Seen My Shadow and the Reason to Believe compilation. I think his box set has more Hardin tunes on it.
Any potential for reissuing Aimee Mann's Bachelor No. 2 or Lost in Space? Or even the Magnolia soundtrack which is essentially an Aimee Mann record (that was never given a vinyl release)? And I'll make another plug for the Amelie (Yann Tiersen) soundtrack. By the by, looking forward to the Flying Burrito Bros reissue!
Yeah, I probably should have not even brought that up, but hearing many versions of The Joshua Tree, I was sad of it's sound on all of them. What about David Grey's While Ladder? I'd much rather have that than any U2
I've got a suggested title that the labels have ignored and sounds fantastic. Needs an audiophile vinyl reissue. 'Rebel' by John Miles is fantastic musically and production wise being done by Alan Parsons. Sound wise up with The Project and dare I say it DSOTM. Contains the classic 'Music' and the rest is not too shabby. Originally on Decca in UK.
Original vinyl sounds rather good but I wonder about interest level now, though a huge UK hit at the time. Can I say I don't see the majors letting independent labels put out their top selling artists on vinyl any more. Maybe with the exception of MFSL and AP who have some financial clout to obtain the tapes. Even then U2 like Beatles and Stones are of piste.
Do you have any interest in the final Stealers Wheel album, Right or Wrong? It might be my favorite of their three.
I'd love to see Aimee Mann's first two solo albums Whatever and I'm With Stupid get good vinyl releases. They've never been on vinyl before.
Actually, there have been rumors/rumblings that there is a Cardigan's box set coming, all of the SFA albums being re-issued on vinyl and ditto for Supergrass, but I have seen (respectively) nothing, Fuzzy Logic and I Should CoCo re-issues and that's it. And these rumors have been circulating for YEARS.
The Flying Burrito Brothers and Judee Sill are great choices! Are the Judee Sill albums not going to be released on SACD as well? As for suggestions, I would love to buy a well mastered SACD of Gene Clark's No Other.
