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

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.

My favorite LP for 2008? I have two. One recorded 20 years ago and re-issued just a few months ago. The other, a used original pressing, was recorded in 1989 and given to me by Bruce of Stereo Unlimited. The first is the 20th Anniversary 45 RPM re-issue of Famous Blue Raincoat. Simply stunning from performance to pressing quality to sonics. The other is an equally impressive Harmonia Mundi pressing of solo Lute Music by Giovanni Kapsberger, an unknown composer to me, recorded in Michigan of all places. Fabulous performance and recording!

I have picked up many LP's this year as well. Most, if not all, not new releases. I was lucky to get a NM+ promotional copy of Robbie Robertson's first solo. Sound is fantastic. Also got a few Micheal Hedges that are also NM.

Too many to list what's the best...... Kinda like asking who's your favorite artist, or your favorite (insert instrument here) player
