Do you guys have any favorite albums that have not been issued on cd? I know a lot of cds get issued in the UK and Japan (and more countries) that never get issued in the US.

For me, I can't think of many (of the top of my head) that haven't been issued that I want issued, but here are a few.

This is the main reason/justification to start collecting vinyl

I have all of these on vinyl, but want them issued on cd.

My collection may not be a big as urs (I have about 200 albums and 12 inch singles). Most of them are from my childhood. I still listen to it occasionally, but still like cds.

Cinnie said:

Yep. Got it at a Half-Price Books for $5 last year. LOVE THIS ALBUM! Norman Whitfield kicked ass for sure on this one.

WHY!?

I wanna suck on one of Cinnie's fingers.

Neil Young - Time Fades Away

It's criminal that this insanely funky Slick Rick recording isn't on compact disc (or iTunes).

This was actually issued on cd in Japan. You can find it, but only for about $100.

The Beatles Christmas Album

Copycat said:

So true. Same for Garden Of Love, Cold Blooded (don't want to pay $40 on ebay for the old cd copies) or any of his other albums.

who are these guys?

Although I have the vinyl.

In fact all their shit save the "Concept" album. Though a blogger claims the Sylvers I,II, III master recordings were lost in a fire.

Wow! I didn't know about a "complete" box set for Richard Pryor

Cinnie said:

I didn't either!

ernestsewell said:

It's very good, also. A friend of mine burned me a copy and I was in tears.

Rad OST. Only on vinyl and cassette Not even an uber expensive Japan import for this bad boy. The vinyl is rare now too LOL, and its only from 1986.



"Howard the duck" OST. Despite bootleggers saying otherwise (same with "Rad"), this was never issued on CD. Again, considering its mid 80's, a Japan import surely exists? Nope, afraid not. Luckily the LP is cheap enough to order. John Barry's score is pretty decent actually.



B.E Taylor group "Our world". Again mid 80's, and also on a major label (Epic), but still, no OFFICIAL CD.

I own all 3 on vinyl and paid a reasonable amount for each ("rad" can fetch prices of upto $50 plus amazinly), but am surprised all 3 didn't get a limited CD release. "Howard the duck" OST is begging for a re-issue.
