Have that on CD, it's not that great.

Time Fades Away had test pressings made. I have a copy of it. It may end up on CD later this year unless Neil changes his mind yet again.

They've never released the final J. Geils Band album on CD... except in Japan.



This might have been for the best.

The Pop
The Beckies
The Sidewinders
Circus

Here's my perpetual list, with a few changes:

1.) Roger Miller - None of his non-compilation albums have ever been released on CD, as far as I know. While there have been some very good comps, many of my favorite songs have been overlooked/ignored.

2.) Johnny Cash - There are quite a few of Johnny's Columbia albums from the 60's thru the 80's that have never been released as individual CD's, though I believe that some have been included in large boxed sets. The one I really want to see is Hello, I'm Johnny Cash. Some of my favorite songs on here include "Southwind", "I've Got A Thing About Trains", and "Route 1, Box 144". This album was part of the Columbia Records suitcase set, but this overlooked gem should be available as an individual disc.

3.) Herb Alpert - Several of Herb's 70's solo albums have never appeared on CD. These include Coney Island, Just You & Me, and Main Event Live (w/ Hugh Masekela). Also, his terrific post-Rise album, Beyond, was available on CD only in Japan for about 15 minutes back in the 80's. Some of these are now available as downloads on Herb's website. Randy Badazz (Herb's nephew) says there probably won't be any more CD reissues in the future.

4.) Maynard Ferguson - Kind of a cheat, but Sleepy Night Records announced a 2-CD compilation of unreleased performances called Lost Tapes, Volume 3 a few years ago. They just posted that there are issues with MF's estate that are holding up the release. (As an aside, Sleepy Night Records is looking to expand their reissue schedule and have asked for requests.)

5.) David Chesky - Rush Hour (Columbia). The title song was on an Oldsmobile demo cassette when I was a kid, and it sounded great. I'd love to hear it again.

The Dave Clark 5 - no official releases on disc except for the comps.

Wild in the Streets was released last year, or 2013? On Curb records.

the allman/cher looks a bit shady, being from argentina and all.

thanks for posting it though, at least I know it's out there.

young did release TFA in that album box he just put out, so maybe there is hope yet for it on CD.

the Splinter lps
Elephants Memory
An Evening with Groucho
An Evening with Wild Man Fischer
most of the Homer & Jethro catalog
the Dave Clark Five catalog
Times Fade Away - Neil Young
Hollywood Bowl - Beatles

Thanks, somehow I missed that. According to Amazon, it's one of those "manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media" deals, but I'll take what I can get.

I remember seeing Japanese mini-LP pressings of the Yachts CDs years ago at Virgin in NYC, but they were crazy expensive, so I passed.

Either never on CD or OOP. Can't even begin to think of the many newer albums that are vinyl/download only.

The Summer Suns ~ Calpurnia

Marti Jones ~ Unsophisticated Time

The Jet Black Berries ~ Sundown On Venus

Rubber Rodeo ~ Heartbreak Highway and Scenic Views

The Go ~ Fiesta

The Half Rats ~ The Half Rats

I pulled this out this evening. Maybe it will get on my playlist tonight.

Jimbo, might they have been Russian boots? I have the 1998 Japanese CD of the debut Yachts album in a jewel case -- this pressing:



http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00000JA7B/?tag=imwan-20

(Don't even click, the seller's price is way out there.)

But I'd never heard of any additional CDs being officially released, and a search of the Internet appears to confirm that. I'd be right behind you and Rick in the line for Yachts remasters ....

Very cool Linda snagging that. Of course I have their stuff on vinyl as most of do but I can't believe they still haven't put out their stuff on CD.
I buy it in heart-beat if they did.

Rick A.

I have it too. I always wondered why the CD cover is different from the LP cover.

I agree Kym. I have it on LP as well. Looks like it was cropped. or just brought up to closer view.

Here's my list from last year. I believe the only changes are:

1. Neil Young - Time Fades Away has been released as an official download, which to me
is just as good as cd; in fact since it's high res, I consider it far superior to cd.

2. Pono is also SUPPOSEDLY going to release Replay, but no one has seen it as anything but Vaporware so far afaik.

3. I also since learned that that Eric Anderson - Be True To You was briefly released in Japan.

Other than that, no change...............

1. Wendy Waldman Which Way To Main Street (her entire Warner catalog is once again oop also)
2. Barry Melton ... The Fish
3. Buddy Miles Live 2 LP
4. Buddy Miles We Got To Live Together
5. Buckingham Nicks
6. Country Joe & The Fish Reunion
7. David Bowie 1980 Floor Show (I know this is a boot, but Tony Defries appears to have the master tapes as the version of Time from this was on one of his 90's UK rarities collections in pristine remixed sound quality)
8. David Werner Whizz Kid
9. Duke Ellington - the 50's material that Sony doesn't have in print
10-12. Rick Ruskin All 3 Takoma releases
13. Shari Ulrich Long Nights
14. Neil Young - Journey Through The Past
15. Shari Ulrich - Talk Around Town
16. Shari Ulrich - One Step Ahead

And as CSN Replay has not yet turned up it gets an honorary #17

Sad thing is except the Country Joe (which I neglected to copy before I sold my turntable) I have every one of these as either a needle drop or a boot or both. And with the sorry state of today's mastering, most probably sound better as I currently own them!

In fact on the 3 Shari's, the closest thing to an authorized edition (they were authorized by the artist) are the 3 cleaned up needle drops I did that my business sells!

That's probably what I actually saw at Virgin. A case of misremembering crossed with wishful thinking, I suppose.

Re the DC5 stuff, the boots are also often better then the official comps!
