Was surprised to find the vinyl of Scott Walker's "The Drift" in the new release bin (though it's now 6 years old) and snapped that up!!!
Plus dozens of used vinyls, highlights include "Osmosis" by Osmosis (obscure 1970 jazzrock) and a stack of original 1960's Herbie Mann LP's (underrated global fusionist jazz).
Having a bit of money to blow, I am now pondering whether it would make more sense to buy a couple favorite Stockhausen pieces on used vinyl (the old DG versions) or splurge for brand new Complete Edition CD's. Particularly I'm after Hymnen, Gesang der Junglinge and Kontakte.
On LP format, the first is a double LP and the other two are on the same LP. In CD terms, the first is a 4CD set (includes two versions of the whole piece) and the others are on 1 CD with a couple other short pieces. I figure it'll cost around $75 for used vinyls and $125 for the CD's.
Anyone familiar enough with these to have a recommendation?
