Wish List For Vinyl Pressings



Vinyl is king. Lets make it bigger and better.

With the huge resurgence of vinyl pressings new, reissue, 45RPM Lp's and specialty box sets, not to mention turntable sales, we are certainly living in the great second life of the analogue vinyl Lp album. All this and the abundance of used records is wonderful.

Here's the thing, I was thinking that the industry could use a list by us of albums that would be well received if put to press. Who else but a group of AudioGoners to offer up a wish list. This helps everyone, the artist, the record industry, the record stores and us the music lovers. Everyone wins.

Please keep with a couple of simple guide lines to make this an easy read for those industry guys. This is a list of titles that have never been on vinyl or are out of print, or very, very rare items. This should be record titles, artist names, maybe even catalog numbers if the item had previously been in press. Lets keep the banter to a bare minimum, if you would. The hope is that this will be read by the right folks and we will see (and hear) all this great stuff on our favorite format.

Happy Listing & Happy Listening, as always!

Govt Mule's debut album
Jazz at the Pawn Shop
Grace Potter "Nothing But The Water"
Emmylou Harris's "Wrecking Ball."
Kathleen Edwards "Asking for Flowers"
Van Morrison "Healing Game"

I would buy all of the list above.

The Beatles have had their reissues reissued, and licensing will be difficult if not impossible.
I wanted an album on vinyl so bad, I started a vinyl label!

That was 7 or 8 years ago, but since then, it seems that the labels I like have regularly been issuing vinyl, which is nice. (Small Stone, Tee Pee, etc.)
I wish they would remaster for vinyl (I do- it makes a difference), but at least the vinyl is being made now.
(I listen to mostly bands on smaller labels... definitely not the norm for a'gon.)
Led Zeppelin all albums, The Who, Who Are You, what the hell is wrong with that album? 4 copies and all horrible, Richard Thompson, Steve Hillage, Rush, all albums, Better pressing of Funkadelics catalog.
Re-pressing of Buena Vista Social Club 45 RPM
Kind of Blue 45 RPM
and +1 on Beatles Analog (AAA)
This is tough as so much is being re-issued. I just picked up the Bauhaus re-issues and Fields was great but Mask was awful. I think this is a trick to the re-issuesÂ… who's doing it, is it quality, and are they mastering to their own ear.

In the spirit of the thread I pick: Scratch Acid and Camper Van Beethoven
