I just purchased two factory sealed Bob Dylan LP's, "Freewheelin" (Columbia PC 8786), and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" (Columbia PC 8905). They were only $10.00 each at a record show last weekend, here at a nearby Hotel. These are obviously much more recent releases, as they have the new Columbia Logo and Label and have a barcode on the album jacket. I don't know what else there is out there like this, but these two pressings are DEAD quiet, and the sound is wonderful. I suspect there is more of this material out there, please share with me any classic rock like this that I am not aware of.
either ive had my head in the sand or something worse. forget cdnow, amazon, or b+n, towerrecords.com has about the best prices for new stuff, and they have 'used'. the used are customer returns, not items they purchased from individuals. not only that, i purchased new Reference Recordings LPs yesterday! and the good part-shipping is $4.95/order, not /item, not/shipment. i LOVE this place, and they have most everything available. search by artist, title, label, this is great! a guy could go broke saving money and time. another fave for the list--vollenweider-caverna magica on LP. the cd is good, i had it first but the LP is more spacious and the COVER ART. i hate miniatures.
I will search Tower records tonight, before I go to sleep. I couldn't sleep anyway, with the prospect of finding great music at a bargain! Thanks for the tip.
Last night I watched the movie, "The Insider" on DVD (with Al Pacino), and was blown away with the sound track. At the end of the movie, I read the music credits and found the name Elizabeth Fraser, the same person I commented about on 3-16-00, at this same posting. It is amazing to me that Audiophiles discover mysterious and wonderful artists so many years ahead of mainstream. "This Mortal Coil" with this near identical sound from Elizabeth Fraser was produced on 4AD Records in 1984, as I am sure many of you music fans are aware of.
I wanted to let you know of another CD that makes music, its from Mickey Hart Plant Drum, called Supralingua, he has got people from all over the world to do this music, if this doesn`t make you tap your feet, you should check your pulse, YOU MIGHT BE DEAD!!!!! Greg
