Vinyl, Cassette, & CD

Following are a few sources carrying a wide range of cassettes, cd, and vinyl.  You might even find a few eight track tapes out there...  But keep it legal.  Don't buy cdr's - even for out of print titles - unless the product is from the label or artist who holds the licensing rights.

The Lost Eighties and Nineties


We've migrated from vinyl and cassette to compact disc and mp3.  In the process, however. we are losing amazing titles from the past.   Some of these titles were obscure when released and have virtually ceased to exist.   Try finding The Steve Carl Band - or Blue Trapeze, Thin Red Line, Quickflight, Glen Allen Green, David Martin...  Even digital content and reissues quickly evaporate or become collectors items and are inaccessible within months.

Artists


A couple of artists and releases I'm especially excited about at the moment include....

Kristin Schweain
'Days of Eden' has delightful piano textures and is worth seeking out - I purchased my cd from amazon.co.uk, but later found it on cdbaby.  Get a copy while you can...

Big Daddy Weave
'What Would Life Be Like' was a surprise, with a cover of Phil Collins' Another Day in Paradise and a gem titled Right With You that would delight any fan of KT Tunstall.

NeedToBreathe
'The Heat' showed up in an online order as an advance release.  The title song could have come from a Jamie Cullum album.  I ended up purchasing a retail copy with inserts the next day.
