What would be on the list to restock a vinyl collection?

[BNAL]

Grainger,

I'm a little younger, but love those albums. I hate to admit it, but I sold them about 20 years ago. Now I have to go purchase these albums again. The only solace I have is that I have digital copies to hold me over.

[Grainger49]

Also, keep an eye on my almost free LPs thread.

I've got copies of all three Grainger suggested waiting for you I'm pretty sure

Just got to ask, is take five available on SACD or other format that should sound better? It's not that my copy doesn't sound great, but I would like get the best I can for that recording.

[Grainger49]

Yes, I have it on Gold CD and SACD.  Not to mention the 4 LP 45 RPM set.

[4krow]

[4krow]

  Heh, heh, just got 'Time Out' on SACD. Good lord, I may be late for work because of this. Boy that Dave Clark Five sure knows how to buzz. Heh heh, sorry Grainger, you kno that I can't resist! Bait anyone?

Dire Straits, Alchemy

Little Feat, everything when Lowell George was still kickin

The Moody Blues

These are my must haves.

[Wanderer]

Beetohovan, 9th Symphony, Herbert von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the 1962 recording on DG.  Herbie the K recorded the 9th a number of times but only the 1962 has the magic for me.     

J. S. Bach, Brandenburg Concertos, My fave on LP is Gustav Leonhardt leading Collegium Aureum on Harmonia Mundi.  On Nonesuch the Karl Ristenpart/Saar Chamber Orchestra is a decent runner up.  ( On CeeDy there are other choices) 

Frank Zappa, "Hot Rats", an original on the Bizarre label if you can dig one up.

Jethro Tull, "Minstrel in the Gallery" and/or "Songs from the Wood"

"Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall" fairly recent LP that has gone out of print but worth seeking out. 

Ella Fitzgerald, "Mack the Knife - Ella in Berlin"  on Verve. The scatting on "How High the Moon" is breathtaking!
