What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008

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.

Since I must pick one! It's one of my favorite Jazz albums of all-time but now available in a 45 RPM reissued version.

Music Matters' Blue Note reissue: Us Three, Horace Parlan Trio

Music Matters MMBST-84037
Blue Note: 509995-20291-1-0

enjoy!

I second the Us Three/ Horace Parlan / MM 45 : wonderful, also is your system, Gerrym5 !!!

Tigerwoodskhorns (interesting)

Jack Johnson, all four of his albums after hearing him on Pandora radio. One of the albums is noisey though, kind of disappointing

I am also a fan of JJ and find his albums sound exceptional. Which album were you displeased with? I felt that "Sleep through the static" was pretty good but the 4 sides of the albums were only half filled resulting in flipping sides every 12 mins instead of 20. They do sound great though.

Excuse the hijack..

Jloveys, thanks! Your system is pretty special. You took some really great pics, especially the angled shot on your TNT TT set up. Nice job!

Here's a unique soundtrack LP I considered to make it my top pick, but didn't:
CITY OF GOD, Original Music by Antonio and Ed Cortez
www.millanrecords.com

The music is street 1970's Brazilian with Brazilian takes on American hits. Most songs have driving beats, horns, drums with great rhythm. It's not Bosa Nova at all. The score fits the movie moods perfectly, but its great music on its own. Enjoy. If you didn't see movie you don't have to enjoy this soundtrack.

BTW: The Movie is a killer movie - rent it
