What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008

they were this year and most if not all are newest releases.

Many good LPs arrived here this year. To choose just one:

Fone 016, Rossini Overtures, Myung-Whun Chung and the Orchestra dell'Accademica Nazionale di Santa Cecilia

A 45 rpm disc with just 16 minutes of music, but what delightful music making it contains. For those who know the performances by Reiner (RCA) and Gamba (Decca), these are lower key less driving performances, instead more focused on delineating the nuance and whimsy of this wonderful music. Simply miked direct to two channel analogue and pressed using a one-step pressing process, the sound is very transperent and well refined.

I believe Sbank was asking you to pick ONE out of all of them as the best, which is the topic of this thread, as opposed to asking us to list ALL the albums we bought this year.

Hope that helps.

As usual, Tvad gets IT.

Hey, Raul, if you enjoy Dido & Central Reservation(as I do), I heartily recommend the early LPs by Everything But The Girl, all availalbe on vinyl:

Eden
Love Not Money
Idlewild(their 4th album, but their masterpiece IMHO). Cheers,
Spencer

Dear Spencer: Thank you I appreciate that.

regards and enjoy the music.
