What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008


For purposes of holiday "Wish List" building, with BOTH excellent music and excellent sonics as criteria, what is the best LP you've bought this year?

For me, it's Shelby Lynne - Just a Little Lovin'

Cheers,

Based on the recommendation here and the Hoffman forum I bought the drive by truckers "brighter than creation's dark" and agree that the sonics are great. Record is not my thing though but can see the craftmanship

The hendrix axis bold as love mono 200 grams I found was my pic
For the year

By the way, anyone want mint double lp drive by truckers for $20 with $3 shipping lemme know

Agreed Songs for Drella is a beautiful album, did you know it was Lou and John's first collaboration in many years? Sadly they were brought together by the death of Andy Warhol...

btw how does it sound on vinyl? Which edition do you have?

thanks

Phil: it is a Sire Records German pressing 180 gm. reissue from original mastertapes. Sounds wonderful. I am a Velvet fan !
Best music will depend on the mood, so I chose on the basis of most amazing sonics:

James Leary, "James" (Fonè 006, 4x 45rpm one-sided 180gr), producer/engineer David Manley

music from Gershwin to Shorter, performed with virtuosity on ... 5 double basses (+ piano + drums)

Kings Of Leon "Only by the Night" best new rock album I have bought in a long, long time. I want that new The Answer album because of all the good word of mouth here on Audiogon.
