Best vinyl I purchased today?
Okay, I went on one of my nice vinyl buyups today, which is the best in your opinion?
The Pretenders – The Pretenders
Station to Station – David Bowie
Love – The Cult
Stranded – Roxy Music (On hold, the store owner just purchased the collection it was in and it hasn’t arrived yet, I was just there and he said to me “anything you want out of this list that I just brought?”)
I pass on the Pretenders and Bowie albums regularly- great albums but easy to find. Never was a big Cult fan, although I do have that album, too. Now “Stranded”- there’s a find. I haven’t run across a copy of that one in years. I’d have snapped it up in a heartbeat.
I think Roxy Music is one of the great overlooked bands. They had their brief time in the sun during the “Avalon” era, but the early stuff like “Stranded” and “Country Life” are masterpieces.
David Bowie – Space Oddity – 1969

Twin Peaks – Fire Walk with Me $4.60 Alternately fascinating and frustrating–and no doubt deliberately so on both counts–this controversial Twin Peaks installment (it was roundly booed by mystified audiences at the Cannes Film Festival) appeared in theaters after the series was canceled, serving as both prequel and coda to the whole remarkable Twin Peaks phenomenon. Designed especially for dedicated followers of the series (it woul… |

MTV Unplugged in New York $5.23 The last Nirvana collection recorded before the untimely death of Kurt Cobain, Unplugged caught many by surprise with its stripped down, neo-acoustic offerings with a bridled fury. When Cobain sings, “I swear I don’t have a gun, I don’t have a gun” with clenched teeth (instead of an open howl) and when the haunting strains of “About a Girl”–from their earliest LP–chills even with quieted guitars… |

Live Aid (4 Disc Set) $24.99 Billed as “the day music changed history,” the Live Aid concerts of July 13, 1985, were held to raise money to fight the horrifying famines sweeping Africa. The brainchild of Bob Geldof and representing the efforts of countless musicians and technicians, Live Aid was a genuine and inspiring effort to help the victims of an overwhelming calamity. Twenty years after the twin concerts (one in London,… |

The Best of Tina Turner – Celebrate! – DTS $6.96 Age 60 has rarely looked this good: Tina Turner, giving a London concert in November 1999 to celebrate her 60th birthday. The concert, surprisingly, consists of the kind of tepid, middle-of-the-road fare she’s been turning out since reviving her career in the mid-1980s with “What’s Love Got to Do with It.” The best parts of this video are the archival footage of a lithe, young Tina doing the … |
