favorite vault/reissue release 2014

we have been blessed with so many recordings this year. which one was your favorite and did it meet your expecatations

 

I am very happy to have the Hampton & LA Forum shows from The Stones. And the CSNY 1974 set is an absolute treasure.
But nothing could top the "Basement Tapes Complete" set, for me. That was an absolute Godsend!

 

Wilco - Alpha Mike Foxtrot
King Crimson - Starless
Grateful Dead Daves Picks 11

all preferable to the listed choices. Altho I tip my hat to the Basement Tapes.

 

The King Crimson Starless boxed set.

 

King Crimson Starless box

 

"Basement Tapes" is pretty much an automatic number one for me. But the unlisted Velvet Underground 3rd LP set is gobsmackingly amazing too as far as I'm concerned.

 

Picked CSN&Y 1974.

I would have picked Rolling Stones From The Vault 1975 but I already had the download L.A. Friday two years ago.

 

XTC drums and wires blue ray is pretty good.

But the allman brothers Fillmore blue ray wins it for me, though it would have been perfect if the original quad mix had been included

 

Allmans followed by CSNY followed by Stones

 

Finally the master tapes have been located and this now stands as a worthy follow up to the classic Pampered Menail and At The Sound Of The Bell albums

 

CSNY1974 : a dream comes true for me.

 

Queen Live at the Rainbow '74. Awesome.

 

1. KC Starless Box
2. ABB Fillmore Blu-ray
3. Yes Relayer Blu-ray

 

1. The Magnificent Moodies 2-CD (when it actually arrives!)

2. Starless
3. Queen At The Rainbow

 

The Beatles Mono Vinyl Box.

 

The Kinks Anthology 1964-1971 box set.

 

King Crimson - Starless

 

Monkees, even though I aint got it yet.

 

Quadrophenia Blu-Ray--surely will be my favorite reissue in perpetuity. Failing that, Who by Numbers on HDTracks or The Wedding Present reissue series on Edsel. -E

 

Great thread footloose!

 

I voted for CSNY (tho my box has yet to arrive)
and Im really excited for the 72 Dead RSD vinyl comin up Friday

 

"Alpha Mike Foxtrot" by Wilco is my top choice, so I voted "Other" myself.
Honorable Mention to"The Basement Tapes"- Bob Dylan & The Band

I tend to think about vault studio releases, live releases & re-issues as different things, but if culled together the Wilco Box Set would still be my favorite because I value new previously unreleased vault material the most (otherwise what could possibly top the whole Beatles catalog Box Set with Mono Vinyl?)...but in the aforementioned Spirit...

Live albums first, where we'd have 3 top choices...
"CSNY 1974"- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Allman Brothers At Fillmore East Expanded"- The Allman Brothers
"Daves Picks Vol. 9, 10, 11 & 12"- The Grateful Dead
Honorable Metion to "Starless"- King Crimson

And finally Re-Issues...In a very close race, there's still tops for...
"Mono Vinyl Box Set"- The Beatles
Honorable Mention: "The Kinds Anthology 1964-1971"- The Kinks

 

Stones '81
Monkees' 1st album
Beatles mono vinyl

CSNY '74 and REMTV are on my shopping list...

 

Smashing Pumpkins - Adore

 

csny out of the choices above.
