Need to start a collection vinyl must haves.


I didn't see a similar thread so I figured I would start one. I got rid of my vinyl about 8 years ago, silly me I just bought a basis debut turntable now I get to start over.

So I like female vocals like Holly Cole, Nora Jones, faster classical, and jazz again as long as it is not to slow and mushy.

So what do I buy and where do I get it? What are the must have records? I am in North jersey.

Princeton Records has a lot of used stuff but I buy most of my used LPs at Jack's in Red Bank, they're cheaper and I've had better luck quality wise from them. Most of their stuff is $1.99 so if I get a lemon it doesn't sting too bad. I get most of my new releases on line when on sale.
There are lots of Jazz reissues out there of all the stuff you like. I shop forcedexposure.com.
I like Norah Jones' new album, but the sound is awful. I got the CD, and thought the vinyl would be better, but,,,,nope. Too bad.
Stringreen, I like Norah Jones too, plus I think she's cute. Just curious which CD/album you are referring to??

I picked up a copy at Starbucks about 9 months ago. It's the one with Norah singing duets with a lot of other vocalists, like Ray Charles, Willy Nelson, Dolly Parton, etc. I forget the name of the CD. If you are familiar with my CD, is that the one you are thinking about?
Oh, I have a question for the Forum. I have read that Japanese pressings are among the highest quality. Where can you buy them? Any web sites??
