The Smoke-The Smoke USA, Gordon Lightfoot-Old Dan's Records,
Dillinger Soundtrack, Pretty Boy Floyd Soundtrack, New Riders Of The Purple Sage-Home Home On The Road, Brujo , Rowan Brothers-All Three Lps, The Illusion-The Illusion, The Al Jolson Story-(2 LPs)Soundtrack, Guy Lombardo's Greatest Hits (Decca) (With St. Louis Blues), Roy Drusky-Dixie Lily, Happy & Artie Traum-Farmer's Almanac, Crossroads Soundtrack, countless others...

 

Mike,

Ark is available on Castle, with the B-side "No John No" as a bonus track. I picked it up on my trip to London a few years back, but CDNow still lists it. I'm sure you also know that Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted has also finally been reissued on Repertoire.

Some that I'd like to see on CD:

Buckingham Nicks
Stephen Stills - Thoroughfare Gap
Neil Young - The Missing Six
Carole King - One To One

 

Thanks Jay,
I appreciate it. I'll have to pick them both up.

Jimmy Thudpucker and the Walden West Rhythm Section, Greatest Hits
Chas Jankel, Questionnaire
Carole King, One To One
Witch Queen, s/t

 

A German classical record on Schwann from the 1970s, but it's long gone from my collection and I can't recall the organist's name!

 

Ted Greene - Solo Guitar (PMP)

Muddy Waters - Blues From Big Bill's Copacabana (Chess)

Phantom Rocker & Slick (EMI)

Grant Green - Goin' West (Blue Note)

Kenny Burrell - Have Yourself A Soulful Little Christmas (Chess)

Larry Young - Of Love & Peace, Contrasts, Heaven & Earth (Blue Note)

Charles Mingus - Music Written For Monterey 1965, Not Heard, Played In Its Entirety At UCLA (JWS)


Well.....This would be a good start !

Best - ED

 

A few Stones 12" mixes are available on the Flashpoint/Collectibles two disc set, including:

Miss You IV (8:34) - from the original 12" Maxi-Single "Miss You" (June 1978)

Don't know if that's the one you're after, but it exists. It's also got 12" mixes of Rock And A Hard Place, Winning Ugly, Harlem Shuffle and Mixed Emotions plus b-sides and such.

Zevon's Stand in the Fire is a biggie for me, plus The Envoy.

Has The Paul Simon Songbook ever been issued on CD?

Ryan

 

RS 12" Mixes

Ryan,

I have never been lucky enough to ever find them. Thanks for the tip...I am not familar with that collection. Is that an import?

Bob

 

Despite what Robert Christgau said in his very first installment of his Consumer's Guide (he gave it a "D") back in 1969, this consumer would love to have Linn County's "FEVER SHOT" (Mercury) on cd.

 

My indespensible Beatles US Capitol albums!

An Evening with Wildman Fischer

Many of those great Ray Charles albums from the late 50s/early 60s.

 

It seems like every week I find another "missing" album on CD through various world-wide net searches. Unfortunetly as we all know finding a CD is one thing, finding one that sounds as good or better than the vinyl original is something else.

Like everyone else I'd like to see:

The Beatles US sequenced LPs (up to Revolver) in both mono and stereo (both on one disc would be cool and easily done)

The Dave Clark 5 - All albums - I have copies but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone I liked.

Those obvious and most like unobtainables aside, here is a short list of my personal missing favorites:

Sanford Townsend Band - aka Smoke From A Distant Fire
Herbie Mann - The Common Ground
Quincy Jones - Gula Matari
Neil Young - American Stars And Bars
The Mothers Of Invention - Cruising With Ruben & The Jets - Original Mix

 

All of Johnny Paycheck's sixties albums, but especially "Johnny Paycheck at Carnegie Hall" (which strangely enough was not recorded at Carnegie Hall and in fact isn't even a live album).

Paycheck is unfortunately remembered mostly for the moronic "Take this Job and Shove it", but in the sixties he recorded some of the best, most intense country albums ever. "Carnegie Hall" is the second best country album of all-time, in my opinion.

My rule about Paycheck albums: If he has no facial hair on the cover, it's a great album. Moustache= pretty good album. Moustache and full beard= avoid!

 

The Great Lost Kinks Album
