Renny...you might also want to check on a reputable site to see if any of these are available for lossless download, an acceptable replacement for CD in my eyes if the CD isn't available. Some of my wishlist things have made it to flac download.

Remember the good old days when those Steve Millers were listed for a release date, then after we all pre-ordered them, they never came out?

Fresh on my mind because I just gave this to Omnivore as a wishlist item for me
Jim Carroll - Dry Dreams

The Beatles' Get Back (Let It Be Naked is not an adequate substitute for what the group originally intended)
The Dodgers' studio and BBC tracks with Tom Evans (there's enough for an album-length collection)
The Pop's catalogue
The Cretones' second album (the first was released this year by Varese)
The Beckies' shelved second album (the first was released last year by Real Gone)
The Mood Six's shelved EMI debut album from 1982
The Sidewinders' sole album from 1972
Circus' sole album from 1973
Burton Cummings' 1980s albums Sweet Sweet and Heart
The Bottles' sole album from 1979 (and single sides)

Cashman & West - "A Song Or Two" has never been released on CD. I doubt it ever will be.

Monroes EP
Hilary: Kinetic (EP)

The "Stop, Wait & Listen" Circus? I second that.

Agree 100% on this one, Linda.

Why any of Glyn Johns' Get Back mixes were not used is puzzling to me.

But with Universal in charge of the catalog, maybe Get Back will get some sort of release.

I have been lucky this year, some of my want list has been satisfied but of course we have more to do.

Here's afew off the top my head.

Dwight Twilley "Jungle" (1984) US #39 & "Wild Dogs" (1986)

Cretones "Snap! Snap!" 2nd album

Argent "Counterpoints" (last album on MCA)

Rod Argent "Moving Home" (first solo album -also on MCA)

ShadowShow Not strictly a Rod Argent recording as "Shadowshow" were a band featuring Barbara Thompson, Jon Hiseman, Clem Clempson and John Mole in addition to Rod Argent.

The Tenants - "The Tenants" 1983 New Wave band from Toronto; bands sounds somewhat like The Police and a dash of Paul Weller

Rick A.

Neil Young - Live Rust: why this hasn't been remastered is beyond me.

Elephants Memory by Elephants Memory
Most of the Homer & Jethro catalog
the Neil Young titles mentioned above
The Dave Clark Five catalog
The Splinter lps
The Beaverteeth releases
The second Daddy Cool LP

the splinter albums not out on CD are weird. no reason they shouldn't be, unless the masters are gone.

Since I got back into vinyl a few years back, I have less to bitch about being unavailable. My vinyl collection has been growing in leaps and bounds—particularly jazz. Between Amazon, iTunes, Discogs, and eBay, I pretty much find what I need—gathering the requisite $$$ when needed being the only problem. An ongoing project is collecting all 164 Mosaic Records box sets; I have 141 as of today. I've also been discovering the more obscure 1920–30s jazz groups; and started getting into some blues as well. But I do not get into those high-priced, fetishist, collectible records; I just like listening, even if it's on youtube. I discover something cool nearly every day.

Linda, sadly Crapple blew it with "Let It Be Naked" and "Get Back". They could have released "Get Back" instead of "Naked" and satisfied both the collector and the casual fan. It could have been marketed as "The Great Lost Beatle Album" or something along those lines. The casual fan who bought "Naked" would have had the same (or better) reaction to "Get Back" and bought it. Collectors would have bought it of course because it would finally be an official release of the album

With "Naked" out there though, I don't think that we;ll ever see "Get Back", at least not until Crapple has some people in charge who really know what they're doing. I'm not holding my breath for that one.

Cal Jam 2......Buckingham Nicks

Lulu's "Don't Take Love for Granted" (1978) on Rocket
Bonnie Pointer's self-titled 1979 album (the one with the purple cover) on Motown
Lulu's self-titled 1981 album on Alfa
Three Dog Night's "It's A Jungle" EP (1983) on Passport
I Am Siam's "She Went Pop" (1984) on CBS

I'd also be in for several of the previously mentioned LPs, especially Buckingham/Nicks, Rosanne Cash, Eric Stewart, "Inside Moves" OST and Dwight Twilley.

"She Went Pop" is one of the few 80s hits (depending on one's definition of "hit") that I can't find on a CD. Along with John Hunter's "Tragedy." So I'll add:

John Hunter: Famous At Night (1985)

Renny, the Dave Mason Is Alive Was released in a Japanese mini sleeve. I bought it.

neil young - time fades away is readily available on a legal download & can be burned (legally to cd).

Not sure what you mean here: stephen stills - still stills; I have the "Stills" cd with Love Story. BGO has a '3fer of the harder to find ones":

8. David Werner Whizz Kid
9. Duke Ellington - the 50's material that Sony doesn't have in print
