CAME OUT (SORT OF)


"time fades away" came out, albeit only in a 4 CD set, hopefully this year it will be released individually.

eric stewart put out an "anthology" which had 7 of the 9 songs from 'frooty rooties" and 1 songs from 'girls".

i keep hearing the steve miller 'joureny from eden" is available overseas, i have not bought it, and i don't think 'rock love' was released at all.

still have never seen nor found 'dave mason is alive". but it is also supposedly available in japan.


add to last years list:

boz scaggs first solo album - again supposedly in europe, do not know if it real or not.

the doors - 13 - unbelievably not on CD

concert for kampuchea

 

i'll also add steely dan's "dallas" and "sail the waterway"

 

Sadly hard to imagine what goes on in the mind of Dave Clark

 

I nearly had to add the Sylvers' early albums but recently I found out that limited edition CDs of the albums came out in Japan this year.

 

bought two versions of this awhile ago(UK & Japan) on this forum learned both Un Official. The UK (terrible sounding)Japan (better) but would love for this to be released (and well mastered is caveat here I believe?)"Officially".

 

Jerry Doucette Price Of An Education

 

stephen stills - still stills
crosby*nash - the best of (green cover)

Can't see why they would ever re-issue these on CD when they have been superseded by various box sets. Even as a fan I wouldn't pick them up

 

Perhaps we'll find out in the not-too-distant future

 

At this point, having them on digital download only might actually make some sense. I don't mean within this forum but to music consumers in general....it's a streaming and iTunes / Amazon download world now. Not a threadcrap attempt btw - there's a number of fairly obscure albums I own on LP that have never gotten a CD release or perhaps did 30 years ago and quickly went OOP. At this point I would be very surprised if they ever got a CD release, but that's why I just do vinyl rips instead.

As for the OP's question itself I would add Chance the Rapper's "Coloring Book" which is streaming / digital download only and not at all obscure. No official vinyl release either, at least not as of this writing.

 

Bert Jansch & Rod Clements - Leather Launderette

 

Kurt Russell - s/t
Johnny Cash Sings with the BC Goodpasture Christian School

 

The Temptations - Solid Rock

 

Tone Float (Organisation)
Kraftwerk
Kraftwerk 2
Ralf and Florian

 

MUSICA ORBIS - To The Listeners
CHERYL DILCHER - Butterfly
TRANQUILITY - Silver
THE MOVIES - s/t (arista)

 

Mike Pinera: Isla

 

Not sure why Kraftwerk always ignores these albums. There's some good tracks on those. There are high quality bootleg CDs of these that are pretty common/cheap.

 

That would be very nice, mono/stereo too welcome

 

if i recall correctly, 25 years ago, or more, the magazine CD review had the buckingham-nicks album as the #1 album most wanted by fans on CD....and we still do not have it.

 

i agree, kind of like the doors '13'.

 

from what i understand, so was 'journey from eden'. i will remove those 2 from list.

 

News on Ali Thomson: New Releases

This will likely be available only on download sites but Renaissance does issue 16 bit FLACs on 7Digital.

 

Revenge Will Come by Greg Copeland. Produced by Jackson Browne. I have no idea why this hasn't been released.

 

Have any of Julie Driscoll's solo albums made it to Cd? Certainly not in the USA.

 

One Way issued 1969 on CD in the US but is long OOP but there are imports available.
