New Vinyl Purchases

[Barry]

Beverly Kenney 1959 recording Born to Be Blue (truer words....). Kenney worked early in life for Western Union as a telephone birthday singer. Sadly, she committed suicide at 28. A cult favorite especially in Japan. The Doxy Records recording on virgin vinyl is really terrific.

Hi Steve,

Which pressing are you listening to? My wife found a UK pressing on Amazon ($48) and on the David Bowie site they are listing for $30. There is also mention of a 180g version but its not clear if that's the one for $30 or if it will be released later:

From the DB site:
"In addition to the CD and digital albums, a special die-cut vinyl LP package will be available. 180g heavyweight black vinyl LP housed in a special die-cut cover art gatefold jacket. Includes 16 page color booklet with special varnish. LP package is a gatefold with die-cut star cover which you ‘look through’ to see the vinyl inside."

I'm just wondering which one to purchase that will have great sound.....

Thanks.

Ok. Not exactually vinyl but this is a great book i received as a gift during the holidays and just getting into it now. Alex Steinweiss is generally acknowledged as the creator of the modern album cover. He died at 94 yrs of age in Sarasota, FL in 2011. Vinyl collectors will know and recognize his cover artwork, and Steinweiss script, as i did, but i knew nothing about the man till this book. Recommended.

Last weekend, I bought:

Respighi, Church Windows, RR-15, 45rpm. I was a little reluctant to shell out $20 for a used record, but figured I couldn't find it anywhere else cheaper.

Bach, The Well-Tempered Clavier, Glen Gould, Book 2, Preludes and Fugues 1-8
Bach, The Well Tempered Clavier, Glen Gould, Book 2, Preludes and Fugues 9-16
Bach, The Well Tempered Clavier, Glen Gould, Book 1, Preludes and Fugues 17-24
I'm just missing volume 2 of that series now.

Shostakovich Symphony 11, Moscow Philharmonic, Melodiya label
Sargent conducts Sibelius: En Saga, Swan of Tuonela, Finlandia, Karelia, Vienna Philharmonic on Odeon label

Running out of storage space and need to save money for a phono preamp, so these records might be the last for a while. Famous last words.
