Last Album(s) You Purchased Because of a Forum Discussion?

Thanks to @tmtomh and @thoutah I have some wonderful sounding Rough Trade The Smiths CDs.

It's all down to this forum that I now have great sounding discs.

 

The CDs that arrived from Amazon yesterday were both purchased because of recent discussions here:

The Best of the Guess Who (Audio Fidelity)
John Carpenter - Lost Themes

 

Steve's masterings of Who's Next and The Fixx's Reach the Beach.

 

The Vic Anesisi remasters of Jefferson Airplane's Bark and Thirty Seconds Over Winterland put out by Iconoclast. Don't think I would have known about them otherwise. Mostly positive reviews here also got me to order Van Morrison's Duets, despite a lot of trepidation.

 

Wait....what?

 

Secret Machines - Now Here Is Nowhere. I'd never heard of them, but took a chance that it would be as good as several forum members had said.

It is. Thanks guys.

 

Oh, gosh, probably Ian McCulloch's Candleland (again) yesterday evening. Must've purged my original copy many moons ago. The aggregate amount of dollars this place has been responsible for my dropping over the years is truly flabbergasting.

 

Jessica Pratt On Your Own Love Again

...just awesome

 

Whoops, misread the thread title - I purchased Steve's mastering of Reach the Beach quite a while ago; but I did buy his mastering of Who's Next recently (actually I bought the Canadian version a while ago, but bought the "real" Japan-for-US version fairly recently.

Or am I still not understanding the reason for your question?

 

I JUST put in my pre-order for ELP Trilogy.

 

I've recently been buying from digging more into my own whims...

But my all te favorite music forum find was Mickey Newbury's "looks like rain"(maybe 2 yrs ago). I'd never heard of him before, but given one of those --forgotten in time type posts, I gave a sample spin and bought...that lead to me buying the 8cd/10 album mickey Newbury collection and now I've bought a few more...he was a genius and seems more forgotten in time

 

The last one would be Hand. Cannot. Erase. - Steven Wilson. Excellent album IMO.

 

Thank you guys.

 

Japanese early Duran Duran LP's. USA Harvest s/t

Japanese Steely Dan Gaucho , plus some Bowies .

Loved them all

 

I bought the late 80's Physical Graffiti CD mastered by Barry Damient on ebay. Haven't received it yet but look forward to comparing it against the 94 remasters.

 

Alejandro Escovedo Thirteen years
Charlie Pickett Bar band Americanus: the best of Charlie Pickett

 

The last one I got!
(which one escapes me at the moment... )

 

The Who HD stuff...especially "Live at Leeds".

 

Last: Cat Stevens "Tea for the Tillerman" 45rpm LP (Still waiting)
Before that: XTC's re-release of "Sky Larking" CD.
Before that: Nilsson's RCA box set.

 

Yikes I have bought a ton of stuff this week - thanks SHMF!

Read about them on the Forum and knew I had to get them. No regrets.

 

A good part of my collection, especially Jazz, the last one was Art Blakey's Free For All simply because Hutlock enthused about it so much.
