Vote for your favourite 60s and 70s albums here (wishlist shm-sacd): SHM-SACD Survey - 60s and 70s albums

 

I'd want the T-Rex Great Hits compilation-I din;t think that's the same one you listed in the poll however.

 

Abba, Supertramp and Beautiful South.

They would have to sound really good to justify the price, especially if only stereo!

 

If U2 were included in the list, I would participate.

 

Only the first 7 really hold interest for me, and greatest hits really don't anyhow...so needing at least 10, I put in the other 11 (really couldn't choose the best 3 from these), keeping it below the max of 20...The Cure almost made it too, but didn't.

Level I:
The Mamas And The Papas "California Dreamin' - The Best Of ..." (2002)
Bob Marley & The Wailers "One Love - The Very Best Of ..." (2001)
The Who "My Generation - The Very Best Of ..." (1996)
Marvin Gaye "The Very Best Of" (1994)
Stevie Wonder "Song Review - A Greatest Hits Collection" (1996)
Buddy Holly "The Buddy Holly Collection" (1993)
T. Rex "Greatest Hits" (2009)

Level II:
Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler "Private Investigations: The Very Best Of" (2005)
10cc "The Very Best Of" (1997)
Bee Gees "Their Record - Great Hits" (2001)
The Beautiful South "Solid Bronze - Great Hits" (2001)
Carpenters "40/40" (2009)
Sting & The Police "The Very Best Of Sting & The Police" (2002)
ABBA "Complete Gold" (2008)
Suzanne Vega "Tried And True - The Best Of" (1998)
Nirvana "Nirvana (Best Of)" (2002)
Sheryl Crow "The Very Best Of ..." (2004)
Supertramp "The Very Best Of..." (1990)

 

SH(a)M SACDs ? No thanks.

 

In your opinion-my Aja sounds fantastic,can't wait to my Black Sabbath-Paranoid arrives should be even better.

 

Which one are you referring to?
I think the one listed is the 2 CD comp. from Japan.
Is this the one?

Greatest Hits [Import]

If you're going for a 2 CD comp. I much prefer the singles.

Singles As & Bs

Darryl

 

This the one I have and would love on SHM-SACD:http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=TECI-26570

 

I meant the compilation of your first link.

 

I think theUK version has the same mastering.
I have both and the track listing is identical.

Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced - Best Of"
Bob Marley "Legend"
Moody Blues "Gold"
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Deep Purple,...

Mamas + Papas doing well right now

 

Thanks for voting!
Already some great results after 25 voters. More voters please, so we could present UMG Japan a reliable list.

 

Nice results! Those who haven't voted yet, it only takes a minute or two ...

Check also the other POLL: UMG Japan Greatest Hits & Best Of catalogue

 

Later on tonight ... the 80s album poll.

Those who haven't voted yet, don't hesitate

All results will be send to Universal Japan together with the Survey Cards!

 

I am not a big buyer of collections, but I would be interested in Marvin Gaye and Bob Marley

 

Which one would you prefer: One Love or Legend?

 

You would have to ask that question . I would lean towards One Love

 

I found One Love an interesting compilation, but "Legend" is still the most popular one (I think).

 

Are all "Free" albums under license of UMG Japan?

Is the compilation "All Right Now - The Best Of" released by Universal Japan?

 

Bad news ... Jimi Hendrix compilation "Are You experienced" comes from Sony these days.

 

71 votes ... we should need 100 at least

 

No love for Beautiful South over here?

I'm glad that the Mamas and the Papas do so well!
