Herbie Hancock- Crossings - the Speakers Corner reissue from a year or so ago Lucifer’s Friend S/T- German Philips (don’t bother with the reissue) Other records I’d recommend for music that are decent recordings:īlast Furnace- S/T (Danish reissue from a couple years ago) Sounds like early Traffic, hard rock, blues shouter, jazz motifs, excellent music, first rate recording. Pay for a M- copy (you should be able to find it on Discogs for around $30). Run, don’t walk, to buy a copy of Brian Davison’s every which way on Mercury. So I appreciate any lists that people recommend as it helps me a newbee to vinyl, collect records that not only sound great but are very enjoyable and bring a smile to my face each time I hear them. I know, reviews weren’t good or nonexistant, just wanted it and for $20 bucks, thought what the hell. If If I can get a recommendation or see a review, I’m more apt to buy it so it doesn’t sit and collect dust like the Eagles Greatest Hits reissue I just bought. Blonde, Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar, to name a few. I bought some real stinkers early that were 1st pressings and just weren’t good, but I know that’s not the case with a lot of the older stuff, just the ones I picked. I’ve got nice Floyd The Wall Japanese and Us first press, 89 Madonna Like a Prayer, 84 Prince Purple Rain, 1991 Stevie Ray Vaughan Sky is Cryin, 1982 Michael Jackson Thriller, 2005 Led Zeppelin S/T, and a few others, but mostly new or reissues.
My collection so far is composted of really great sounding records but there’s a lot of vinyl I just haven’t been able to get decent pressings or good masterings of? I don’t own hardly any originals pressings. Fleetwood Mac- Tango in the Night (Rhino, 180 gram, 2017 reissue) Muddy Waters- Folk Singer (Analogue Productions, QRP, 200 gram reissue)Ģ0.

So within the last year, what are 10 of your favorite album purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and pure enjoyment? Here’s my top 20:ġ. I’ve only been into vinyl for 6 months now and have purchased 250 albums, 99 percent new, recent pressings, reissues.
