It took me about 30 years to find a copy of McCabe's Symphony No. 1 conducted by himself, but I finally got one last year and it's every bit as good as I had expected.
Since then, it's been released on Naxos CD. However, careful listening reveals it to be a transcript from vinyl!

Emmylou Harris - Gliding Bird. I spent many years trying to find out if this album was ever actually released, let alone available. Eventually I walked into James Asman's record shop in Cannon Street one afternoon in 1977 and got a big beaming smile from 'Clip' the guy who ran it. Not only had he tracked a copy down for me it was a white label promo/D.J. copy from the U.S.
About a fortnight after that it was re-released on Pye as "The Legendary 'Gliding Bird' Album" for £0.99 I think it was.

A similar story
I looked for years for a vinyl version of Images and Words by Dream Theater. Finally found one for sale on ebay in Germany that was released in South Amercia
A year later it was re-released on vinyl

It took me a good number of years to find a mint copy of the Sheffield Lab direct cut of Thelma Houston and Pressure Cooker. Then I found another Sheffield Lab of James Newton Howard and Friends, and it's even better.

Whoops sorry just realised it was a vinyl thread Don't worry - the first releas vinyl cut is the best I've heard. It was done by George Peckham (Porky). |

For me getting hold of a Porky cut is gratifying.
I picked up a copy of Genesis Live (the 1973 album) just last week, and that has Porky in the deadwax. It sounds great.

What you really really want. Or what you really really got. . I give you........ In a beautiful working near mint cover. The pink rim Island issue. Thanks to my missus and her deep pocket ! I've looked for a good one for more than 30 years. And I've found only tatty rotters ! Till last year. . so....... your holy grails anyone ? Another thread I've only just spotted. Snap ! I have one of these too. UK Original Zippo - ILPS 9241. Both cover and vinyl in fab near mint order. Couldnt believe it when I nailed it at £112. Been a massive Marley fan from day one, my all time #1 musical hero - period. The only thing I dont have and would like for it is the original baby blu insert (the vinyl sits in a MOFI anti static sleeve, cut to size) . I'd like to get hold of the original insert though one day, even if I have to buy a knackered original for it  . |

I'm not familiar with those.
Discogs is a good place to dig around - lots of information there.

The blue one I don't know about ? I have a very good friend who has the ' Pendle Home Entertainment' record shop in Colne. He let me have it for what he had to pay . So I got this one for £100. Anyway. ..we must chat. Is there an appropriate thread ? |
