What's your latest album purchase?

my very latest,

The Decemberists "The Crane Wife" 10th Anniversary box set (lp)

Last three (Vinyl) purchases from most recent down:

1. Beatles - Abbey Road (wanted to compare sonics with CD box set I own)

2. Diana Krall - Walflower - My first vinyl of her, and my last. She is now Spotify material to me. Uninspired, and barely ok for background music at dinner time. An el-cheapo beat-box drum machine for California Dreaming?

3. Norah Jones - Little Broken Hearts (double-vinyl)  to put it simply, sounds like it was recorded in a subway station on a normal-bias TDK cassette. On the plus side, great music to fall asleep on. Make sure you have someone to lift the tonearm at the end of track 1, side 1.

My first real bargain find in the pre-owned realm:

Robert Palmer's "Clues", the promotional use only edition in mint condition. I paid $4 at a local tobacco/news store that recently put a few boxes of vinyl and a small sign in the front window.

soniqmike,

Try "Live in Paris", it may be a game changer for you.

Admittedly, mine is the ORG pressing but the energy Diane and her feedback from the audience is pretty remarkable. It (makes) this recording even more special!

Cheers!

...your description of the Nora Jones had me laughing hard.

Hope you've heard "Come Away With Me". Most likely her best in terms of SQ.

Cheers!
