Wish List For Vinyl Pressings



Vinyl is king. Lets make it bigger and better.

With the huge resurgence of vinyl pressings new, reissue, 45RPM Lp's and specialty box sets, not to mention turntable sales, we are certainly living in the great second life of the analogue vinyl Lp album. All this and the abundance of used records is wonderful.

Here's the thing, I was thinking that the industry could use a list by us of albums that would be well received if put to press. Who else but a group of AudioGoners to offer up a wish list. This helps everyone, the artist, the record industry, the record stores and us the music lovers. Everyone wins.

Please keep with a couple of simple guide lines to make this an easy read for those industry guys. This is a list of titles that have never been on vinyl or are out of print, or very, very rare items. This should be record titles, artist names, maybe even catalog numbers if the item had previously been in press. Lets keep the banter to a bare minimum, if you would. The hope is that this will be read by the right folks and we will see (and hear) all this great stuff on our favorite format.

Happy Listing & Happy Listening, as always!

This is tough as so much is being re-issued. I just picked up the Bauhaus re-issues and Fields was great but Mask was awful. I think this is a trick to the re-issues… who's doing it, is it quality, and are they mastering to their own ear.

In the spirit of the thread I pick: Scratch Acid and Camper Van Beethoven
So many quality jazz artists, with cd releases, but little on vinyl. Maybe, too small a market.
Linda Oh.. Kenny Garret...Fred Hirsch...Christian Mcbride ...Avashai Cohen and his sister Anat Cohen...Jeremy Pelt...Marcus Miller...live Marsalis...Sean Jones...Ben Allison...Roy Hargrove...Aaron Parks.. Ambrose Akinmusire... Brad Mehldau... Brian Lynch... Chris Potter... Cyrus Chestnut... Dave Douglas... Gene Harris live... Jacky Terrasson... Jim Rotondi... Joe Lovano... Joshua Redman.. The Brecker Brothers... Tomasz Stanko...and so many more.
I am a huge jazz fan, especially of the bebop era, but how many pressings of Kind Of Blue and Giant Steps do we need? These young talented artists are so deserving of a larger exposure. Maybe vinyl releases would help.
Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter -Reckless Burning

(first album/briefly pressed to vinyl. Falls somewhere in the Trinity Sessions- Cowboy Junkies and So Tonight That I Might See- Mazzy Star genre)

Hauntingly beautiful

*AtmaSphere: Ralph, I would love to be a part of that!!!

Happy Listening!
Beautiful Freak from The Eels DreamWorks Records –DRLP-50001 (1996)vinyl consistently pulls just shy of four hundred bucks a copy in M- (ish shape) and good luck finding one.

Daisies Of The Galaxy by The Eels on Bong Load Records –BL47 is another.

I loved Bong Load Custom Records!!! Lovely slabs of black beauty, thick stock/high gloss gatefolds, outstanding quality...

Happy Listening! ;^)>
