Which artists' music do you buy without audition
Probably not many Bjork fans at Audiogon but for those that are, the new 45 RPM vinyl DMM masters from GB are reported to be her best sound ever. I searched the usual music vendors, most selling at retail $45.00 each and already sold out of many of the titles. Then I noticed a link to One Little Indian USA who have the entire Bjork British DMM library at a 25% discount, no tax and a good ship rate. OLI USA website |
I think there's something to be said for Jaybo's shopping method. On a recent trip to Brazil I was in a used record store looking at rock LP's from the 70's through the early 90's. Not able to read or speak Portuguese I found myself attracted to certain album art. There were two things I found quite amazing. 1) What an incredibly good job the VPI 16.5 record cleaner can do on what looks like an LP suitable only for the grave. 2) I hit above 80% liking vs. not liking the music based solely on the look of the album art. |
