What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008

Is the lp version of Wilco's sky blue really much better sonics than the cd version? If so, why? If you automatically dislike anything digital please confess this before educating me?

Same question about the cat power you are free which is a great album and sounds great on cd. Its a slow album and what does the vinyl version do that the cd does not? can you hear a lot of surface noise?

I must have gotten lucky with Lucinda (smile). My pressing of Little Honey sounds great.

Radioheadokplayer(Awesome moniker btw!),

Tough question about the SkyBlueSky. My turntable is so much better than my cdp that I can't really judge the cd. The vinyl is quiet with great separation, deep and wide soundstage and plenty of instrumental body. It reminds me in spots of a good Steely Dan LP, if you know what I mean. Cheers,

LP vs CD of Sky Blue Sky (2007) depends entirely on your set-up. Both are great, with LP sounding more expansive & richer & bit less aggressive on my system.

The big score LP of '08 is probably the $100 Dylan Tell Tale Signs box, though I have so far only heard the excellent sounding 2-CD set.

Ditto above praise for Ray Davies Workingman's Cafe. Other fine '08 releases include John Hiatt Same Old Man, Lou Reed Berlin Live at St. Ann's Warehouse, Steven Malkmus Real Emotional Trash, Shearwater Rook, Mercury Rev Snowflake Midnight, Calexico Carried to Dust.

Forgot The Pretenders Break Up the Concrete double LP. Wonderful live-in-studio sound. Lucinda should send Crissie a thank you note for paving the way.
