I have three of the Jim White cds and agree with your descriptions of his music and I too would like to see them in vinyl form. Thank you, Mazzy, I really enjoy your videos.
Only have a few vinyls due to loaning out and never seeing again. One I go back to is the reprint of The Doors, Weird Scenes inside the Gold Mine. Love it.
tons of jazz from 90s and early 00's never released on vinyl. A personal favorite artist is Canadian Ron Sexsmith whose 2nd and 3rd records from the late 90's haven't been reissued on vinyl yet.
Hi Mazzy, Jim White's If Jesus Drove A Motor Home is one of my very favourite songs of all time. Got Sam Phillips' World On Sticks on vinyl (among others). I think it's my very favourite of hers.
Love Midnite Vultures- we were lucky enough to see Beck on that tour sporting a jump suit and cape complete with James’s Brown choreography! I’d like to see Sleeps with Angels by Neil Young. I think I’m right in saying that only had a relatively limited vinyl release?
An interesting selection Mazzy. The Living Road by Lhasa has briefly been out on double vinyl in Canada, but seems currently unavailable. It would also be good to have more Jorge Benjor, and Sam Amidon on vinyl...
I've been super waiting for Cowboy Junkies - Lay It Down on vinyl (my favorite of theirs is finally getting a first time on vinyl release and should be in my hands before the end of August) and I would LOVE to hear news of a 20th anniversary repress of Sloan's Action Pact.
Nice choices, especially the Beck. I'd really love to see the post-Luka albums from Suzanne Vega...Days of Open Hand, 99.9F, Nine Objects of Desire, Songs in Red & Gray, and Beauty & Crime. Also, Aimee Mann's solo LPs outside of Bachelor No 2, namely Whatever, I'm With Stupid, Lost in Space, and Forgotten Arm, etc (I know some were Mobile Fidelity but I missed them). Tori Amos' From the Choirgirl Hotel is currently a $300 record, so that, To Venus & Back, and Strange Little Girls would be great. Seal's 2nd album with Kiss From a Rose and Prayer for the Dying are imperative. And dammit if Matt Johnson can't convince Sony to reissue the The's albums after Soul Mining: Infected, Mind Bomb, Dusk, and Hanky Panky. Prince's Diamonds & Pearls and the Love Symbol album would also complete his Warner run outside the Graffiti Bridge and Batman soundtracks. Where is 10000 Maniacs MTV Unplugged? Huge record. Since you said Peter Gabriel, the Ovo album would be a wonderful addition, especially since Liz Fraser is on it. And speaking of Sinead O'Connor, definitely things like Universal Mother should be reissued, along with Faith and Courage, the She Who Dwells compilation, and Massive Attack's 100th Window, featuring 3 amazing vocal performances from Sinead. And finally, David Sylvian's Nine Horses need to reissue Snow Borne Sorrow yesterday! Many of these gaps are finally being filled in, but there are still many omissions that I consider necessities. Great video as usual!
Thanks to Ry Cooder, I learned American History and L A history in particular The story of Chavez Ravine was absolutely unknown to me As always thank you for referencing the truly magnificent Ry Cooder!
Gram Parson’s tribute album, Return of the Grievous Angel, Robbie Robertson Storyville. Chris Whitely Living with the Law. These are on my vinyl wishlist.
Chris Whitley’s Living With the Law did a vinyl reissue back in 2013. Originals can still be found & aren’t expensive. We need his Work & Messanger albums on vinyl, these were only released on Cd.
All nice choices! I was thankfully able to get UK pressings of both Jellyfish albums, but they truly needs an affordable versions like Beck’s Midnight Vulture ures. Another one that I’d like to see is Jesse Harris, before he wrote for Norah Jones, his first band Once Blue has some great music and he’s still releasing music under the name COSMOS today that is really beautiful.
In case you're not aware, literally this morning I saw Cake’s Comfort Eagle available for pre-order on that big rain forest site; due out on September 15, 2023. You're welcome 😉
You made no comment to link Sheila Chandra to her group Monsoon , but I’m assuming you know? …..Monsoon had quite a big hit back in 1981 in the U.K. with “Ever So Lonely” and released at least 1 LP , probably more. Drenched in the Indian drone tones and very catchy with it …I picked the LP about 6 years ago now for about £20 , not a fortune but probably getting that way when you start adding international postage
I shall add..drum roll...Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions - Through The Devil Softly, Keren Ann - Nolita and Bebel Gilberto - self titled from 2004 featuring Aganju. All superb albums that need a vinyl release.
I would like to see Linda Perry’s Night Flight on vinyl. A great album with a powerhouse duet with Grace Slick . I liked the Four Non Blondes so Linda is one of my favorite female singers. I wish she continued her singing career.
Jimmy Scott's comeback albums from the nineties, - All the Way, Dream and Heaven. Terry Evans' Blues for Thought (he was the deeeep background voice on a lot of Ry Cooder records)
Fun! I remember the earlier Sheila Chandra albums so I'll check these out. What I'd like to see from that era are the first three Natacha Atlas solo albums (2 only had limited vinyl release): Diaspora, Halim, and Gedida. Likewise for the related early albums by her band, Transglobal Underground.
Thanks once again Mazie! My go to (depending on mood of course) is Hawkwind's Space Ritual. One because that era brings back such great memories and secondly because I was at The Liverpool Stadium where it was partly recorded. Not sure if any other subscribers/viewers noticed? But when you held up the flip side of Elvis Costello's Noth how much like you he looks lol😂
Jellyfish... absolutely...saw them live back in the day. I would have added Catherine Wheel but just discovered their records are coming soon to vinyl.
Jellyfish, YAY. I have them both on vinyl but it took me YEARS to save up the many hundreds of UK pounds it took to buy them. Totally agree that music of this calibre needs to be in print. Unbelievably good music on those 2 releases. Its such a shame that they came onto the scene just as grunge was talking off, pop masterpieces like Jellyfish need the respect they deserve.
Sinead O’Conner is a good choice! After her passing I learned she did a very well received Reggae album in 2005 with Sly and Robbie titled Throw down your arms. A lot of people have tried something similar and failed but after listening to the album on RUclips, I’m impressed. She maintains authenticity that others seem to lack. There was a small number of vinyl issued in the US but I’d love to see a reissue.
Hey Mazzy thanks for sharing your thoughts and descriptions of some of your favorites which happen to be some of mine also. However wasn't familiar with those releases by Sinead, Elvis, Beck or J. White...but definitely on my radar list now!!
Hi Mazzy, I live in Victoria, 20 years ago I picked up the North LP new by Costello in Vancouver . The price sticker was still on it with the shrink ($29.00), my point it was available up here. Maybe VC members like Steve Westman or Rachel could peruse some local records stores and find a copy for you. You are right it is a wonderful record a good companion for Bacharach and Costello.
On the flip side, there are still vinyl LPs that haven't emerged on CD, Mazzy. I'd love to replace my old, scratched copies of the likes of the John Sebastian Songbook with a shiny CD.
The original Bong Load Mellow Gold is a great pressing - I would say it’s one of those records that’s worth spending £100 on Discogs for. An album I’d like on vinyl is Willie Nelson’s Across The Borderline, which has a beautiful (and now more touching that ever) duet with Sinead O’Conner on Don’t Give Up.
Great suggestions. I'm glad to see another Jim White fan out there. Elvis released another album on Deutsche Grammophon with the Metropole Orkest entitled My Flame Burns Blue which is very good. Cheers.
Thank YOU. This is a topic I have often thought about, so glad you took this up on my behalf. Although my list is a bit different than yours, I appreciate the effort. Thanks again Mazzy.
I really want MoFi or AP to reissue "The Neighborhood" by Los Lobos. No vinyl pressing except it's initial limited pressing in 1990. I have never seen one in the wild. The MoFi of "Colossal Head" sounds fantastic.
Great selection of titles. Would love to see those Jim White titles on vinyl. A few of my own favourites missing on vinyl are Donovan’s “Sutras”, Velvet Crush “Soft Sounds” and the two albums David Johansen released on Chesky.
Saw Cheryl Crow open festivities in the infield for a NASCAR Firecracker 400 race in Daytona some years back. Great show. She still looked great. Agreed on The Information from Beck. I usually see it around 300 bucks. Needs an affordable reissue.
Sheila Chandra has a Voice Of Sphere's. Love those records . Would love to see those records on Vinyl. Ry Cooder record Meeting by the River. Love see that on Vinyl.
Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue | I only have Vol. 3 on vinyl. I really think Vol. 1 & 2 could do with a more general release. Or even a Box Set of Vol.1, 2 & 3. The Cure - Unplugged MTV | Probably the most amazing / innovate MTV Unplugged session of them all. I'm waiting over 30 years for this to get a release. New Order - TOTPs Live Performances | I really hope someday a release of all New Orders "Top Of The Pops" will get an official release. It just that New Order insisted every time they appeared on TOTPs they played live, and those live versions of New Order's hits have some quite different nuances about them. I certainly agree with Sinéad's "Sean-Nòs Nua" getting a vinyl release. Sean-nós is traditionally an unaccompanied Irish vocal style usually performed in the Irish language. Sean-Nós singing style is over 700 years old, and usually involves long melodic emotive words. I think Sinéad's passing has hit Ireland [as a nation] quite hard. Ireland was a country that was Ruled by the Catholic Church right into the 80's. And, Sinéad was at the forefront of the fight-back against the Catholic Stronghold on the Irish Political System. And also her highlighting the Catholic Church Scandals in Ireland, and beyond. And for the majority of Irish Citizens she was vilified for her stances & activisms. And only a few weeks previous to Sinéad's passing Ireland also lost another one of it's finest contemporary Irish voices in Christy Dignam of the band Aslan. Christy (who was in Palliative Care himself at the time) actually reached out to Sinéad when her son, Shane, passed away last January. Unfortunately she didn't take him up on his offer. Aslan - This Is Finbar Furey & Christy Dignam - Green Fields Of France | Absolute superb version of the the Irish Trad. Song Christy Dignam & Imelda May - Song For Kathryn Aslan - Crazy World Sinéad R.I.P. Nobody Compared to You Christy R.I.P. The Voice of an Angel .
Totally agree on EC's North. Would also like an affordable US pressing of When I was Cruel. Also would like to have on vinyl: Gillian Welch Time (The Revelator) and Revival, Mellencamp's Human Wheels and Mr Happy Go Lucky, Marshall Crenshaw's What's in the Bag?, MC 900 Ft Jesus One Step Ahead of the Spider, Lambchop's Aw C'mon and No You C'mon and Bruce Cockburn's Life's Short Call Now. That's 10 for now...
My top 5 are all Jazz. Maria Schneider-Sky Blue Brad Mehldau-highway Rider Charles Lloyd-the water is wide Terence Blanchard-a tale of God’s will Wynton Marsalis-midnight blues : standard time vol.5
Thanks for the video, Mazzy. I would like to see a few of Robert Plant's folk-rock-type records more readily available (aside from expensive discogs options). I'm thinking of Might ReArranger or Band of Joy. Good staples to have on in the afternoon summer sun. I've been hoping for a while for these to crop up...but no. I'll have to check out the Shiela Chandra recordings. Thanks!
Sheryl Crow self titled and Globe Sessions CD, totally agree. Why can’t they release these on vinyl. Agree both Jellyfish…brilliant. Also Richard Thompson’s You, Me, Us…?
Sheila Chandra's "Weaving My Ancestor's Voices" is from 1992. She retired from music in 2009 after losing her voice. This recording was reissued on vinyl in June 2023 by Real World Records.
Hi Mazzy . I’m pretty sure I have the Jellyfish release you held up in your left hand on a promo vinyl copy , signed! I’ll have to dig it out. I ‘m not a huge Sheryl Crow fan but love “You’re My Favorite Mistake”. It’s a perfect song . Take care.
Here are my Top 10 albums that really need to be reissued on vinyl: 1. Rumours by Fleetwood Mac 2. Fleetwood Mac by Fleetwood Mac 3. Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones 4. Abbey Road by The Beatles 5. Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys 6. Dark SIde of the Moon by Pink Floyd 7. Tapestry by Carole King 8. Harvest by Neil Young 9. Aja by Steely Dan 10. Thriller by Michael Jackson
Here's a funny thing. When CDs first came out, I could hear the difference between CDs and LPs. LPs sounded warmer. Now, being older, I really can't hear a difference.
I would love Cornershop’s When I Was Born for the 7th Time. There was a vinyl release in 1997 but it’s rarely around and I’m not even sure if it sounds good. It could use a new mastering. There’s a lot of great instrumentation and solid disco funk grooves worth cranking.
Two of my all time extended cds I wanted on vinyl came out for RSD within 6 months David Byrne’s the Catherine Wheel Complete Score First only available on prerecorded cassette Steely Dan - Two Against Nature The RSD 33 1/3 3 sides and an etched side Then Acoustic Sounds released it on 45 rpm Both sound excellent. Get the AS 45 before the price goes way up like the rsd
The Grays: Ro Sham Bo - Jason Falkner (1st cd): Presents Author Unknown - maybe a reissue of The Loud Family LP Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things......at a more reasonable price....thanks....I enjoy your videos....
hey mazzy..long list, but here's a short version.. first..the tracy chapman catalog..only her first three albums are on cd.. next..tina vero..three albums, all cd.. and finally..leonard cohen..his spoken word album, '1957' is a gem.. so many others (looking at you rickie lee jones)... now i just have to get my next vinyl cause and effect out... peace and grooves always my friend..rocky
Finally a really useful thread! Sheila Chandra - ABoneCroneDrone was issued in 2019 as a record for £20.00 discogs has 2 copies for sale in the US at about $35-$40
So glad you mention Ry Cooder, who is not only a guitar master but one of my most beloved musicians -- and a great American musical historian, to boot. I have the soundtrack LP for the great X-rated 1970 acid-trip/gangster film by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, "Performance," which stars James Fox, Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg and features music by Ry, Randy Newman, Jack Nitzsche and Merry Clayton. I don't remember if it ever came out on CD, but I still have all of Ry Cooder's records and most of his soundtracks on vinyl (mostly original pressings) -- except, of course, for the two you cite. But this brings me to the central irony of Ry Cooder's role in regard to this topic. I have a framed poster for 1979's "Bop Till You Drop" on the wall in my music room, which prominently announces the album as "Rock's First Digital Recording." I bought the 12" record when it came out, then the West German-manufactured WEA "Target CD," and then returned to the record again -- and I must admit it sounds clearer, crisper, and richer on vinyl -- because it was recorded digitally but intended to be listened to on record. (I also have a red vinyl Milt Jackson LP on the "Pablo Today" label, 1981''s "Night Mist," that boasts in big letters on the cover that it was "DIGITAL" -- in lettering about the size of the album's title. Digital recording was touted as a big deal, mostly for symphonic and chamber music LPs, though it didn't help with the surface noises during the quiet parts!) Remember when we used to wait breathlessly for our favorite LPs to be released on CD (like the Beatles catalog in 1987-88)? There were so many titles my friends and I would pine for: "I wish they'd put that out on CD!" We've come full circle now...
Wait until you've played your favorite lp about 10 or more times. Those new "sounds" you hear in the grooves will have you giving the circle yet another spin-and for yet another generation of listeners ,"so it goes". For me, it's well-mastered cds..please,sir? 😂
Nice one Mazzy - Yes, I'd love that Costello North album too. Michael tells me that the American Analog Set albums are being re-released next year. Happy days! D
@@mazzysmusic Yes, the American Analog Set are an Austin-based indie rock, lo-fi band I discovered probably around 2005. I really like their music. I have all their albums on CD but just 2 on vinyl. Michael Muller [who knows the band] says there will be a re-release of all their albums in box set next year on the Numero Group label. I can't wait! D
Great to see Sheryl Crow make the list. Loved her since the 90’s. Love that self titled album. Saw her open for Heart just before Covid hit, great show.
Never heard of Jim White. Thanks ! He is great. I'm gonna buy the CDs. I love Costello but North is too low-key for me. I just bought The Juliet letters reissue on vinyl, though. Great album. Also, his collaboration with Burt Bacharach is really a masterpiece.
My top 2 are: Jackson Browne - Solo Acoustic Vol.1 Peter Mulvey - Notes From Elsewhere Both on CD are amazing but it would be great to also have them on vinyl.
The Jellyfish albums did come out on Vinyl but I wish they would reissue them... However one album that I want on Vinyl that only had a CD release back in 96' is " What Makes It Go? " by Komeda , they are a really quirky band from Sweden.
My pick for vinyl would be Arcangels….they made one album I believe with Little Steven producing….band was Charlie Sexton , Doyle Bramhall and Stevie Ray Vaughn’s rhythm section….great album
Gosh I am mainstream but i could go for 3 by Jackson Browne - I’m Alive, Looking East, and Naked Ride Home. Also a few Shawn Colvin records including Fat City and Whole New You.
Nice list Mazzy! Speaking of RealWorld have you ever heard Djivan Gasparyan & Michael Brooks “Black Rock” ? I got to see them live at Womad USA and it was mesmerizing! So their “Black Rock” album is my #1 never been on vinyl. Also, regarding LuakaBop…most of David Byrnes solo stuff has never been on vinyl. “Feelings” and “Look Into The Eyeball” are brilliant!
Nice to see The Super Furry Animals mentioned..and you’re in luck..Phantom Power is being re-released in September. Personally would like to see some Shack reissues to fill the gaps. Can’t believe its not happened yet especially after Dear Scott being named album of the year in Mojo magazine.
Hi Mazzy. Irishman here; the pronunciation of the Sinead O'Conner album is "shan nose (the os part sounds like the middle of "toast"") noo-a". hope that comes across.
Good list. I need to check out North by Costello. Love Sheila Chandra, what a beautiful voice! And Jim White is an interesting musician, to say the least, with an interesting catalog.
I wish that Michael Nesmith's Tropical Campfire's would be put on vinyl for the first time. I want Jellyfish too, 3 of the guys now make records as The Lickerish Quartet and they're good too. I have 2 Sheila Chandra albums on vinyl as well as the Monsoon album, I would love more especially as she can no longer sing.
I have the opposite problem,sir..I have no turntable anymore so I got rid of all of my vinyl ..just try finding some of that great seventies stuff on compact disc..Photographic Smile. Forget it..Plug me into something by Henry Gross. Impossible. Bill Wyman. Monkey Grip. No way! Most of that great prog stuff is really difficult if it's obscure enough like some bands such as Gryphon or Pfm..
I vote for The Beach Boys Live 2012 double CD. Would love this on vinyl. Would make a great RSD release (and room for a few bonus tracks considering how the tour developed after they recorded the live album)
Oh, also, Leonard Cohen Live in Dublin was never released on CD and would make a great box set. And I have a soft spot for Neil Young Red Rocks (Road Rock vol 1) which only got a very limited release. Seems to be a theme emerging with me, it’s the live albums that are scarce on vinyl! Oh hang on, there was a killer Nina Simone outtakes compilation called Tell It Like It Is that only came out on CD, would love that on vinyl. Also disc 2 of the Stones Some Girls deluxe is brilliant and only ever came out on CD. Okay I’ll stop now. Greetings from London.
Nice list Mazzy! According to Discogs, North was released on vinyl in 2003 in limited edition. Currently around $175 plus shipping. A bit too steep for me.
An album I would like to see released on vinyl is Patti Austin's "A Secret Place". It is a great mixture of R & B and Soul with Jazz overtones. It seems to have been recorded well.
The three Real world albums by Sheila Chandra had a vinyl reissue last month. 3 stunning albums and Shiela is a wonderful person, activist & mentor. I'd also love to see the first couple of Afro Celt Sound System albums on vinyl, snd the OVO album. The Richie Havens tracks on there are heavenly.
Good question for Mazz! My thinking on lps is that the difference in costs (especially recently) tween vinyl and cd doesn't justify purchase of the lp. Prime example-for me my purchase of the Beatles box set of mono cds makes hunting for original lps in mono an unnecessary-and far more expensive- task. Another one- Phil Upchurch's killer guitar session "Tell The Truth" is coming out on lp. That is, as a 2-lp set,13 tracks. I bought it on the Evidence label with all the same music in the used cd racks for 6 bucks-ONE disc. The new 2-lp set? $50!😮 I don't THINK so!
Did you get the Elvis Costello CD with the additional DVD disc? There's a joyous CD boxset from David Sylvian that has been recently released if you did not already know. I do hope that you give the Shela Chandra LP that I sent you the occasional spin. Don't miss The Church when they play Seattle! They don't appear to have any plans to play in Brexit stricken GB which is sad.
My list would include Ray Davies-Other People's Lives, Elvis Costello and The Roots-Wise Up Ghost, Chrissie Hynde-Valve Bone Woe, Ron Sexsmith-Ron Sexsmith, The Impressions-This Is My Country, Andy Pratt-Resolution, Wondermints-Bali, Leo Kottke- My Father's Face, The Walkabouts-Train Leaves At Eight, Charlie Haden-Rambling Boy and Fountains Of Wayne-Sky Full Of Holes.
Mazzy’s Vinyl Pressing Plant. Coming 2024 Ya. So strange that the Sheryl crow isn’t on wax. Probably will be a huge/special release when it does happen
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
Also, us Robyn Hitchcock fans are waiting on vinyl issues of Jewels For Sophia, A Star For Bram, Spooked, Shadow Cat, Luxor and Obliteration Pie.
Yes! We need those great Hitchcock albums on vinyl.
Sheila Chandra, yes ! great, fabulous....
I have three of the Jim White cds and agree with your descriptions of his music and I too would like to see them in vinyl form. Thank you, Mazzy, I really enjoy your videos.
I absolutely agree with you on the Sheryl Crow, that's my favorite album of hers, and we need a vinyl pressing. 💯
Only have a few vinyls due to loaning out and never seeing again. One I go back to is the reprint of The Doors, Weird Scenes inside the Gold Mine. Love it.

Love Midnite Vultures- we were lucky enough to see Beck on that tour sporting a jump suit and cape complete with James’s Brown choreography! I’d like to see Sleeps with Angels by Neil Young. I think I’m right in saying that only had a relatively limited vinyl release?
When i started watching this video Midnight Vultures came to mind only to see you mention it at the end. That's pretty awesome!!
It’s such a fun funky album ✌🏼
Hi Mazzy! … interesting selections. I would like to see an official release of Prince‘s jazz album N.E.W.S
Great one Mazzy, I think you mentioned it in another video, Bryan Ferry - As Time Goes By would be another one that needs a vinyl release.
Yes ✌🏼
An interesting selection Mazzy. The Living Road by Lhasa has briefly been out on double vinyl in Canada, but seems currently unavailable. It would also be good to have more Jorge Benjor, and Sam Amidon on vinyl...
I've been super waiting for Cowboy Junkies - Lay It Down on vinyl (my favorite of theirs is finally getting a first time on vinyl release and should be in my hands before the end of August) and I would LOVE to hear news of a 20th anniversary repress of Sloan's Action Pact.
Love that Cowboy J
Nice choices, especially the Beck. I'd really love to see the post-Luka albums from Suzanne Vega...Days of Open Hand, 99.9F, Nine Objects of Desire, Songs in Red & Gray, and Beauty & Crime. Also, Aimee Mann's solo LPs outside of Bachelor No 2, namely Whatever, I'm With Stupid, Lost in Space, and Forgotten Arm, etc (I know some were Mobile Fidelity but I missed them). Tori Amos' From the Choirgirl Hotel is currently a $300 record, so that, To Venus & Back, and Strange Little Girls would be great. Seal's 2nd album with Kiss From a Rose and Prayer for the Dying are imperative. And dammit if Matt Johnson can't convince Sony to reissue the The's albums after Soul Mining: Infected, Mind Bomb, Dusk, and Hanky Panky. Prince's Diamonds & Pearls and the Love Symbol album would also complete his Warner run outside the Graffiti Bridge and Batman soundtracks. Where is 10000 Maniacs MTV Unplugged? Huge record. Since you said Peter Gabriel, the Ovo album would be a wonderful addition, especially since Liz Fraser is on it. And speaking of Sinead O'Connor, definitely things like Universal Mother should be reissued, along with Faith and Courage, the She Who Dwells compilation, and Massive Attack's 100th Window, featuring 3 amazing vocal performances from Sinead. And finally, David Sylvian's Nine Horses need to reissue Snow Borne Sorrow yesterday! Many of these gaps are finally being filled in, but there are still many omissions that I consider necessities. Great video as usual!
That’s a nice healthy list ✌🏼
Thanks to Ry Cooder, I learned American History and L A history in particular The story of Chavez Ravine was absolutely unknown to me As always thank you for referencing the truly magnificent Ry Cooder!
Gram Parson’s tribute album, Return of the Grievous Angel, Robbie Robertson Storyville. Chris Whitely Living with the Law. These are on my vinyl wishlist.
I have all of these on CD’s and would love to have Chris Whitley on vinyl. Great choices!
Chris Whitley’s Living With the Law did a vinyl reissue back in 2013. Originals can still be found & aren’t expensive. We need his Work & Messanger albums on vinyl, these were only released on Cd.
Yes, Storyville.
Storyville was released on record, I've got it.
All nice choices! I was thankfully able to get UK pressings of both Jellyfish albums, but they truly needs an affordable versions like Beck’s Midnight Vulture ures. Another one that I’d like to see is Jesse Harris, before he wrote for Norah Jones, his first band Once Blue has some great music and he’s still releasing music under the name COSMOS today that is really beautiful.
Saw Once Blue at Mountain Stage years ago. Bought the CD afterwards.
I agree, I’d love to see Sheryl Crow and Jellyfish on vinyl. My pick would be Cake’s Comfort Eagle. Great video Mazzy 👏
In case you're not aware, literally this morning I saw Cake’s Comfort Eagle available for pre-order on that big rain forest site; due out on September 15, 2023. You're welcome 😉
@@usquebaugh1 oh really?! Could you forward me a link please? I want to know more. Thank you!

I would like to see Linda Perry’s Night Flight on vinyl. A great album with a powerhouse duet with Grace Slick . I liked the Four Non Blondes so Linda is one of my favorite female singers. I wish she continued her singing career.
I have "Midnight Vultures" on vinyl, bought in the UK on it's release seem to remember. Marked as a limited edition in my Discogs, so it's out there!
Yeah costly now. I’ll wait for the eventually reissue ✌🏼
Jimmy Scott's comeback albums from the nineties, - All the Way, Dream and Heaven. Terry Evans' Blues for Thought (he was the deeeep background voice on a lot of Ry Cooder records)
Fun! I remember the earlier Sheila Chandra albums so I'll check these out. What I'd like to see from that era are the first three Natacha Atlas solo albums (2 only had limited vinyl release): Diaspora, Halim, and Gedida. Likewise for the related early albums by her band, Transglobal Underground.
Thanks once again Mazie! My go to (depending on mood of course) is Hawkwind's Space Ritual. One because that era brings back such great memories and secondly because I was at The Liverpool Stadium where it was partly recorded.
Not sure if any other subscribers/viewers noticed?
But when you held up the flip side of Elvis Costello's Noth how much like you he looks lol😂
Jellyfish... absolutely...saw them live back in the day. I would have added Catherine Wheel but just discovered their records are coming soon to vinyl.
Yeah, the first three out on vinyl again , all essential
Great list idea. Bill Frisell's Gone, Just like a train, and East/West would be two welcome appearances.
This is a great idea. I could list twenty off the top of my head..
Jellyfish, YAY. I have them both on vinyl but it took me YEARS to save up the many hundreds of UK pounds it took to buy them. Totally agree that music of this calibre needs to be in print. Unbelievably good music on those 2 releases. Its such a shame that they came onto the scene just as grunge was talking off, pop masterpieces like Jellyfish need the respect they deserve.
Jellyfish was my first thought whe n I saw the title of this video.
Sinead O’Conner is a good choice! After her passing I learned she did a very well received Reggae album in 2005 with Sly and Robbie titled Throw down your arms. A lot of people have tried something similar and failed but after listening to the album on RUclips, I’m impressed. She maintains authenticity that others seem to lack. There was a small number of vinyl issued in the US but I’d love to see a reissue.

Yeah unless you find it in the wild is costly ✌🏼

The original Bong Load Mellow Gold is a great pressing - I would say it’s one of those records that’s worth spending £100 on Discogs for. An album I’d like on vinyl is Willie Nelson’s Across The Borderline, which has a beautiful (and now more touching that ever) duet with Sinead O’Conner on Don’t Give Up.
Agree wholeheartedly with both those points!
Great suggestions. I'm glad to see another Jim White fan out there. Elvis released another album on Deutsche Grammophon with the Metropole Orkest entitled My Flame Burns Blue which is very good. Cheers.
Thank YOU. This is a topic I have often thought about, so glad you took this up on my behalf. Although my list is a bit different than yours, I appreciate the effort. Thanks again Mazzy.
I would LOVE (L-U-V) a copy of Charlie Rich’s “Pictures and Paintings” on vinyl. Keep up the great work Mazzy!
Omnivore reissued the Jellyfish records on vinyl in 2012, but they are out of print now.
I really want MoFi or AP to reissue "The Neighborhood" by Los Lobos. No vinyl pressing except it's initial limited pressing in 1990. I have never seen one in the wild. The MoFi of "Colossal Head" sounds fantastic.
Great selection of titles. Would love to see those Jim White titles on vinyl. A few of my own favourites missing on vinyl are Donovan’s “Sutras”, Velvet Crush “Soft Sounds” and the two albums David Johansen released on Chesky.
Would love to eventually see Luscious Jackson's catalog get a reissue treatment.
Saw Cheryl Crow open festivities in the infield for a NASCAR Firecracker 400 race in Daytona some years back. Great show. She still looked great. Agreed on The Information from Beck. I usually see it around 300 bucks. Needs an affordable reissue.
Sheila Chandra has a Voice
Of Sphere's.
Love those records .
Would love to see those records on
Vinyl.
Ry Cooder record Meeting by the River.
Love see that on Vinyl.
Meeting was/ is available from Acoustic Sounds. Not sure if it’s still available. I e been told several Chandra just came out ✌🏼
Tuesday Night Music Club was on my list and they finally released it, and the first disc sounded great but the second record had major noise.
Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue | I only have Vol. 3 on vinyl. I really think Vol. 1 & 2 could do with a more general release. Or even a Box Set of Vol.1, 2 & 3.
The Cure - Unplugged MTV | Probably the most amazing / innovate MTV Unplugged session of them all. I'm waiting over 30 years for this to get a release.
New Order - TOTPs Live Performances | I really hope someday a release of all New Orders "Top Of The Pops" will get an official release. It just that New Order insisted every time they appeared on TOTPs they played live, and those live versions of New Order's hits have some quite different nuances about them.
I certainly agree with Sinéad's "Sean-Nòs Nua" getting a vinyl release. Sean-nós is traditionally an unaccompanied Irish vocal style usually performed in the Irish language. Sean-Nós singing style is over 700 years old, and usually involves long melodic emotive words.
I think Sinéad's passing has hit Ireland [as a nation] quite hard. Ireland was a country that was Ruled by the Catholic Church right into the 80's. And, Sinéad was at the forefront of the fight-back against the Catholic Stronghold on the Irish Political System. And also her highlighting the Catholic Church Scandals in Ireland, and beyond. And for the majority of Irish Citizens she was vilified for her stances & activisms.
And only a few weeks previous to Sinéad's passing Ireland also lost another one of it's finest contemporary Irish voices in Christy Dignam of the band Aslan. Christy (who was in Palliative Care himself at the time) actually reached out to Sinéad when her son, Shane, passed away last January. Unfortunately she didn't take him up on his offer.
Aslan - This Is
Finbar Furey & Christy Dignam - Green Fields Of France | Absolute superb version of the the Irish Trad. Song
Christy Dignam & Imelda May - Song For Kathryn
Aslan - Crazy World
Sinéad R.I.P. Nobody Compared to You
Christy R.I.P. The Voice of an Angel
.
Thanks for your comments. I do have all the Mermaid LPs but I know they are not available right now. Should be in print ✌🏼
Totally agree on EC's North. Would also like an affordable US pressing of When I was Cruel.
Also would like to have on vinyl: Gillian Welch Time (The Revelator) and Revival, Mellencamp's Human Wheels and Mr Happy Go Lucky,
Marshall Crenshaw's What's in the Bag?, MC 900 Ft Jesus One Step Ahead of the Spider, Lambchop's Aw C'mon and No You C'mon and Bruce Cockburn's Life's Short Call Now. That's 10 for now...
All great choices✌🏼
My top 5 are all Jazz.
Maria Schneider-Sky Blue
Brad Mehldau-highway Rider
Charles Lloyd-the water is wide
Terence Blanchard-a tale of God’s will
Wynton Marsalis-midnight blues : standard time vol.5
Thanks for the video, Mazzy. I would like to see a few of Robert Plant's folk-rock-type records more readily available (aside from expensive discogs options). I'm thinking of Might ReArranger or Band of Joy. Good staples to have on in the afternoon summer sun. I've been hoping for a while for these to crop up...but no. I'll have to check out the Shiela Chandra recordings. Thanks!
Sheryl Crow self titled and Globe Sessions CD, totally agree. Why can’t they release these on vinyl. Agree both Jellyfish…brilliant. Also Richard Thompson’s You, Me, Us…?
Sheila Chandra's "Weaving My Ancestor's Voices" is from 1992. She retired from music in 2009 after losing her voice.
This recording was reissued on vinyl in June 2023 by Real World Records.
Hi Mazzy, Sheila's real world records are coming out on Vinyl now.
Hi Mazzy . I’m pretty sure I have the Jellyfish release you held up in your left hand on a promo vinyl copy , signed! I’ll have to dig it out. I ‘m not a huge Sheryl Crow fan but love “You’re My Favorite Mistake”. It’s a perfect song . Take care.
Here are my Top 10 albums that really need to be reissued on vinyl:
1. Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
2. Fleetwood Mac by Fleetwood Mac
3. Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
4. Abbey Road by The Beatles
5. Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
6. Dark SIde of the Moon by Pink Floyd
7. Tapestry by Carole King
8. Harvest by Neil Young
9. Aja by Steely Dan
10. Thriller by Michael Jackson
Here's a funny thing. When CDs first came out, I could hear the difference between CDs and LPs. LPs sounded warmer. Now, being older, I really can't hear a difference.
Your hearing may be worse (no offense, it's an aging thing) and and CD players are definitely better.
Hi Mazzy, great video
Awesome! I look forward to the next video.
Have a great week. Shavua Tov
Thank you! You too!✌🏼
I enjoyed the idea.. I have that jellyfish self titled. Hey Venus is the SFA album I want .. the one you showed is reissued next month
I would love Cornershop’s When I Was Born for the 7th Time. There was a vinyl release in 1997 but it’s rarely around and I’m not even sure if it sounds good. It could use a new mastering. There’s a lot of great instrumentation and solid disco funk grooves worth cranking.
Two of my all time extended cds I wanted on vinyl came out for RSD within 6 months
David Byrne’s the Catherine Wheel Complete Score
First only available on prerecorded cassette
Steely Dan - Two Against Nature
The RSD 33 1/3 3 sides and an etched side
Then Acoustic Sounds released it on 45 rpm
Both sound excellent. Get the AS 45 before the price goes way up like the rsd
'Painted Desert' by Okie Mori, Marc Ribot, etc.
The most precise, anxious and tasty wish list ever made. Thanks Mazzy
The Grays: Ro Sham Bo - Jason Falkner (1st cd): Presents Author Unknown - maybe a reissue of The Loud Family LP Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things......at a more reasonable price....thanks....I enjoy your videos....
hey mazzy..long list, but here's a short version.. first..the tracy chapman catalog..only her first three albums are on cd..
next..tina vero..three albums, all cd..
and finally..leonard cohen..his spoken word album, '1957' is a gem..
so many others (looking at you rickie lee jones)...
now i just have to get my next vinyl cause and effect out...
peace and grooves always my friend..rocky
Finally a really useful thread! Sheila Chandra - ABoneCroneDrone was issued in 2019 as a record for £20.00 discogs has 2 copies for sale in the US at about $35-$40
I just ordered Weaving My Ancestors' Voices by Chandra and ore orders Super Furry Animals ✌🏼
So glad you mention Ry Cooder, who is not only a guitar master but one of my most beloved musicians -- and a great American musical historian, to boot. I have the soundtrack LP for the great X-rated 1970 acid-trip/gangster film by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, "Performance," which stars James Fox, Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg and features music by Ry, Randy Newman, Jack Nitzsche and Merry Clayton. I don't remember if it ever came out on CD, but I still have all of Ry Cooder's records and most of his soundtracks on vinyl (mostly original pressings) -- except, of course, for the two you cite.
But this brings me to the central irony of Ry Cooder's role in regard to this topic. I have a framed poster for 1979's "Bop Till You Drop" on the wall in my music room, which prominently announces the album as "Rock's First Digital Recording." I bought the 12" record when it came out, then the West German-manufactured WEA "Target CD," and then returned to the record again -- and I must admit it sounds clearer, crisper, and richer on vinyl -- because it was recorded digitally but intended to be listened to on record. (I also have a red vinyl Milt Jackson LP on the "Pablo Today" label, 1981''s "Night Mist," that boasts in big letters on the cover that it was "DIGITAL" -- in lettering about the size of the album's title. Digital recording was touted as a big deal, mostly for symphonic and chamber music LPs, though it didn't help with the surface noises during the quiet parts!)
Remember when we used to wait breathlessly for our favorite LPs to be released on CD (like the Beatles catalog in 1987-88)? There were so many titles my friends and I would pine for: "I wish they'd put that out on CD!" We've come full circle now...
Yeah I’m all in on Ry Cooder. Seen him live about ten times since 1976 and try to grab everything he has played on 🎸
Wait until you've played your favorite lp about 10 or more times. Those new "sounds" you hear in the grooves will have you giving the circle yet another spin-and for yet another generation of listeners ,"so it goes".
For me, it's well-mastered cds..please,sir?
😂
Jim White, No Such Place has a lovely vinyl release and, if I'm not mistaken, is still available out there for a reasonable
price.
the s.f.a album is being released on a double vinyl next month . look forward to a review !
Pre ordered 📌
Nice one Mazzy - Yes, I'd love that Costello North album too. Michael tells me that the American Analog Set albums are being re-released next year. Happy days! D
American Analog Set🤷🏻♂️
@@mazzysmusic Yes, the American Analog Set are an Austin-based indie rock, lo-fi band I discovered probably around 2005. I really like their music. I have all their albums on CD but just 2 on vinyl. Michael Muller [who knows the band] says there will be a re-release of all their albums in box set next year on the Numero Group label. I can't wait! D
Out of the Cradle - Lindsey Buckingham and totally agree on Midnight Vultures
Great to see Sheryl Crow make the list. Loved her since the 90’s. Love that self titled album. Saw her open for Heart just before Covid hit, great show.
I was lucky to get a free promo vinyl copy of EC’s North back in the day.
Never heard of Jim White. Thanks ! He is great. I'm gonna buy the CDs.
I love Costello but North is too low-key for me. I just bought The Juliet letters reissue on vinyl, though. Great album. Also, his collaboration with Burt Bacharach is really a masterpiece.
My top 2 are:
Jackson Browne - Solo Acoustic Vol.1
Peter Mulvey - Notes From Elsewhere
Both on CD are amazing but it would be great to also have them on vinyl.
The Jellyfish albums did come out on Vinyl but I wish they would reissue them... However one album that I want on Vinyl that only had a CD release back in 96' is " What Makes It Go? " by Komeda , they are a really quirky band from Sweden.
Both Jason Falkner and Roger Manning from Jellyfish are in Beck’s band!
Hi Mazzy, Jellyfish Bellybutton & Spilt Milk were reissued by Omnivore Recordings back in 2012. They both sound great. Happy hunting.
My pick for vinyl would be Arcangels….they made one album I believe with Little Steven producing….band was Charlie Sexton , Doyle Bramhall and Stevie Ray Vaughn’s rhythm section….great album
Ozric Tentacles and their album The Yum Yum Tree is one i would love to see on vinyl.
Gosh I am mainstream but i could go for 3 by Jackson Browne - I’m Alive, Looking East, and Naked Ride Home. Also a few Shawn Colvin records including Fat City and Whole New You.
I'd like to have that Beck album on vinyl too!
Nice list Mazzy!
Speaking of RealWorld have you ever heard Djivan Gasparyan & Michael Brooks “Black Rock” ? I got to see them live at Womad USA and it was mesmerizing! So their “Black Rock” album is my #1 never been on vinyl.
Also, regarding LuakaBop…most of David Byrnes solo stuff has never been on vinyl. “Feelings” and “Look Into The Eyeball” are brilliant!
Yeah I have that Black Rock CD 😎
“Home” is the standout track on that Sheryl Crow album
Nice to see The Super Furry Animals mentioned..and you’re in luck..Phantom Power is being re-released in September. Personally would like to see some Shack reissues to fill the gaps. Can’t believe its not happened yet especially after Dear Scott being named album of the year in Mojo magazine.
Funny I saw that and pre ordered an hour after I posted this ✌🏼
@@mazzysmusic isn't that always the way..im sticking to my SFA's CDs...but did have to get Rings on vinyl..a personal favourite too
I only own Rings around Saturn, I’ll have to check out Phantom power.
@@marvinbattlejr.9365I recommend the Welsh language Mwng (mane).
Hi Mazzy. Irishman here; the pronunciation of the Sinead O'Conner album is "shan nose (the os part sounds like the middle of "toast"") noo-a". hope that comes across.
Good list. I need to check out North by Costello. Love Sheila Chandra, what a beautiful voice! And Jim White is an interesting musician, to say the least, with an interesting catalog.
I wish that Michael Nesmith's Tropical Campfire's would be put on vinyl for the first time. I want Jellyfish too, 3 of the guys now make records as The Lickerish Quartet and they're good too. I have 2 Sheila Chandra albums on vinyl as well as the Monsoon album, I would love more especially as she can no longer sing.
I have the opposite problem,sir..I have no turntable anymore so I got rid of all of my vinyl ..just try finding some of that great seventies stuff on compact disc..Photographic Smile. Forget it..Plug me into something by Henry Gross. Impossible. Bill Wyman. Monkey Grip. No way! Most of that great prog stuff is really difficult if it's obscure enough like some bands such as Gryphon or Pfm..
I vote for The Beach Boys Live 2012 double CD. Would love this on vinyl. Would make a great RSD release (and room for a few bonus tracks considering how the tour developed after they recorded the live album)
Oh, also, Leonard Cohen Live in Dublin was never released on CD and would make a great box set. And I have a soft spot for Neil Young Red Rocks (Road Rock vol 1) which only got a very limited release. Seems to be a theme emerging with me, it’s the live albums that are scarce on vinyl! Oh hang on, there was a killer Nina Simone outtakes compilation called Tell It Like It Is that only came out on CD, would love that on vinyl. Also disc 2 of the Stones Some Girls deluxe is brilliant and only ever came out on CD. Okay I’ll stop now. Greetings from London.
Jellyfish albums were issued and reissued . I have reissues
Paolo Nutini - These Streets... Can't believe that's not been issued on vinyl yet 😔
this is the correct answer.
Dreamland by Robert Plant. A great Album but the price for vinyl is Euro 550 to 620 !
Nice list Mazzy! According to Discogs, North was released on vinyl in 2003 in limited edition. Currently around $175 plus shipping. A bit too steep for me.
Yeah too much ✌🏼
Lost Horizons by Lemon Jelly. Imagine how good that cover art would look on an album.
An album I would like to see released on vinyl is Patti Austin's "A Secret Place". It is a great mixture of R & B and Soul with Jazz overtones. It seems to have been recorded well.
Shack HMS Fable. Brilliant album from Michael Head, his brother and band.
Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic I and II. Please.
The three Real world albums by Sheila Chandra had a vinyl reissue last month. 3 stunning albums and Shiela is a wonderful person, activist & mentor. I'd also love to see the first couple of Afro Celt Sound System albums on vinyl, snd the OVO album. The Richie Havens tracks on there are heavenly.
Just ordered one ✌🏼
great segment Mazzy. thank you.
are there any releases that you own vinyl that you would like see on compact disc ?
Good question for Mazz! My thinking on lps is that the difference in costs (especially recently) tween vinyl and cd doesn't justify purchase of the lp. Prime example-for me my purchase of the Beatles box set of mono cds makes hunting for original lps in mono an unnecessary-and far more expensive- task. Another one- Phil Upchurch's killer guitar session "Tell The Truth" is coming out on lp. That is, as a 2-lp set,13 tracks. I bought it on the Evidence label with all the same music in the used cd racks for 6 bucks-ONE disc. The new 2-lp set? $50!😮
I don't THINK so!
Did you get the Elvis Costello CD with the additional DVD disc?
There's a joyous CD boxset from David Sylvian that has been recently released if you did not already know.
I do hope that you give the Shela Chandra LP that I sent you the occasional spin.
Don't miss The Church when they play Seattle! They don't appear to have any plans to play in Brexit stricken GB which is sad.
My list would include Ray Davies-Other People's Lives, Elvis Costello and The Roots-Wise Up Ghost, Chrissie Hynde-Valve Bone Woe, Ron Sexsmith-Ron Sexsmith, The Impressions-This Is My Country, Andy Pratt-Resolution, Wondermints-Bali, Leo Kottke- My Father's Face, The Walkabouts-Train Leaves At Eight, Charlie Haden-Rambling Boy and Fountains Of Wayne-Sky Full Of Holes.
Good list ✌🏼
Mazzy’s Vinyl Pressing Plant. Coming 2024
Ya. So strange that the Sheryl crow isn’t on wax. Probably will be a huge/special release when it does happen
Ha. I’d never get back in the biz. I can relax and enjoy the music outside of it
