[@DavidKramer-uj9yf]

This list was GREAT. Tracy Chapman self-titled ABSOLUTELY needs an audiophile reissue. Acoustic Sounds please make it happen.🎉 Happy New Year

@UnitedStatesofAnalog I was born in Cambridge, so not too far from there. Have a happy new year.

[@tkoch19606]

Great list!! My biggest wish from your list is for Let It Be Naked followed by Some Girls and Nebraska. One that has never been on vinyl that I would love to have as an LP is In the World from Natchez to New York by Olu Dara, but I am sure not many people really know that one, though. My copy of The 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus is well worn, so I'd appreciate a reissue of that.

[@kempfand]

It is interesting for us viewers as well, to learn where co-viewers are from ! City of Basel in Switzerland here. Have a good transition into 2025.

[@UnitedStatesofAnalog]

@@kempfand Thanks... have a good New Year, as well!

[@JimmShaffer-vr9wu]

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus! I just listened to this yesterday. I'd love to see a Mofi version.

[@UnitedStatesofAnalog]

I met Randy. And I was friends with Mark Andes for a few years but lost track of him!

[@JimmShaffer-vr9wu]

@UnitedStatesofAnalog I would have loved to met them. Spirit is a Top 10 band for me.

Happy New Year.

[@alexcaprio]

Since you mentioned Ochs, I would love a full show version of “Gunfight At Carnegie Hall”

[@danielwalsh8168]

@ only Buddy did Buddy Holly better than Phil Ochs and only by a slim margin

[@FotogInkArt]

Chapman just sold out a Argentonian pressed version. Went on sale last week. Its also been STRONGLY rumored that a wider release is happening in 2025. It's coming.

[@eddents]

Fun video and list (and I don't even do vinyl these days)! Have great memories of cueing the needle in the 70's with The Allman Bros. "Brothers and Sisters" album. Current events fun fact: The late President Carter was a fan of the Allman Brothers Band. They played a fund raiser for him early in the primary that gave the campaign enough money to buy ads for the Iowa Caucus. Pres. Carter remained friends w/ Greg Allman, even through his substance abuse struggles. Watching from ATL.

[@matteofabbris7877]

Happy new year from Venice, Italy

[@michaellord9745]

It's almost criminal that Let It Be Naked still isn't available again on vinyl. Should have been included in the Let It Be box set from a few years back. Apple is a real mystery sometimes.

[@UnitedStatesofAnalog]

@@michaellord9745 I don't get it either!

[@stonecoldfloors8200]

I would love that album on vinyl... it needs to be made available again.

[@johnmason6213]

Shocking that you didn’t include Wish You Were Here. It’s 50yo this year and good copies are hard to find and pay for.

[@ediblehorse]

Thin Lizzy - 1976 box set. Came out just a few months ago and is already hard to get. Was limited and no one knew. It is Jail break and Johnny the fox remasters, outtakes and a live show. 5 CD. Phil and Bruce both listened to a lot of Van, that's the connection.

[@alexcaprio]

I’m watching from Point Pleasant, NJ

[@JimmyV1530]

Tracy Chapman, owns all the rights - -it's up to her to re-release her debut.

[@UnitedStatesofAnalog]

@@JimmyV1530 Interesting... I need to read up on that!

[@garthmckeil9539]

This video caused me some flashbacks.... had me thinking of some oddball 8-tracks I had back in the day. SPIRIT- Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus KRAFTWERK- Radioaktivity and SPOOKY TOOTH- You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw

[@limomangeno]

I saw,Peter Wolf a few,times ...Always a,great show...Middle Island ,Long Island,N.Y. NY...the middle of long island .

Agreed!

[@outlaw36sst]

hey ! it`s your friendly neighbourly krazy kanuck subscriber.....that`s a mouthful . ok tracy chapam`s album i got brand spanking new when it first came out . to this day i have kept that album and i listen to it when i feel like a treat to me for me by me , in my little listening room it is musical bliss .

[@darrenchampion4451]

Without doubt the Tracy Chapman UHQR would be top of my dream list for 25

[@cpta03]

Happy New Year from San Jose, CA. I have an original pressing of Tracy Chapman’s eponymous album. I think the pressing is excellent. I don’t know if need a 100+ Mofi pressing.

[@vulcangunner58]

Watching at Newburgh,NY...Thin Lizzy-Jailbreak! Would like to see Montrose(1st one '73) re-freshed and released.

[@ecapessoa8191]

Eu sou do Brasil estou assistindo teus videos.Um Abraço!🌎🖐🖐

[@WireHedd]

Awesome list Bob. Agreed on some, not so much on others. No reason to argue over subjective tastes. My choices start with Dylan's The Basement Tapes (mono), Miles Davis' Milestones, Jean Michelle Jarre Oxygene, The Who Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy, Rough Trade's For Those Who Think Young and even throw in Headpins' Turn It Loud. Hope you and the family are having a great holiday and wishing you a fantastic new year.

[@alvarosundfeld]

I have a clean original copy of Tracy Chapman, paid 5 bucks!

[@UnitedStatesofAnalog]

@@alvarosundfeld Drive it like you stole it!

[@markcarrington8565]

Picked up a mint first UK pressing 3 years ago for £25. It sounds fantastic. Not convinced it needs the full UHQR treatment and I certainly wouldn’t feel the need to buy it. I do have UHQR pressings so I know how good they are, so it’s not that I have anything against them. The best value Analogue Production releases for me so far have been the Atlantic 75 series. Brilliant versions of some of my favourite old records.

[@tmdillon1969]

Very good picks! I'd 100% buy Nebraska, Chapman, and Let it Be the day they came out. I also 100% agree that Some Girls was the last Stones album worth a damn. It's great they're still packing stadiums but it's all been pretty weak sauce since then. Ronnie Wood is a legend but Mick Taylor...just wow. I'd like to see a lot of the music that I listened to in HS come out remastered but I'm not going to hold my breath. If you're a Gen X kid who was into alternative/punk/college radio you just have to accept that much of what you listened to was recorded on a shoestring budget and not well and the market for re-releases is minor. There is some jazz on the German ECM label that was only ever released on CD that I'd love to see on audiophile vinyl but that's niche as well. I do find it crazy that a band as huge as U2 got has never had the UHQR treatment despite the popularity and the poor quality recordings on almost all their first 15 years of releases.

[@Diesel65-tl3zv]

Watching your channel from right here in Round Rock TX, agree 100% on Some Girls my favorite Stones album I can remember watching them on SNL promoting it, Also agree on Bowie hard to say it is my ATF , J Geils Love Stinks songs like Night Time and who can forget “No Anchovies Please “ they have a great live album “Full House” and one question I have how many Miles Davis records are there seems like every week of the year there’s another release, my request would be more rock like when Analog Productions ran the Atlantic 75th series how about throwing some of the Bon Scott era after they moved to Atlantic or even Brian era at least Back N Black imagine the sales on that I know the Angus keeps a tight grip on their catalog the 2 STP AP releases sound awesome , Mofi is working 1the Van Halen catalog With Roth which I have everything released so far probably stop after Fair Warning not big on the 45 RPM ,

[@darrenchampion4451]

In the case of Nebraska, you might want to ask for an original cassette box set like it was originally recorded on I believe ?

Tom Petty ~ Definitely. • Heard (&♡) 'Saving Grace' before, but 'Down South' ... it says so much with so few words. An immediate connection - Fantastic !¡!.

[@enricoweidmann8618]

[@robertnitsche8410]

Mobile Fidelity released Some Girls in 1983. It's the original Japanese JVC Supervinyl pressing, and sounds wonderful. I agree on Nebraska, way overdue for an audiophile reissue.

J Geils speakers corner all analog,morning after mofi,love stinks nautilus superdisc,all sound great.All tom petty including highway companion recent pressings by chris bellman are all analog and audiophile quality.

[@UnitedStatesofAnalog]

@@jbvinyl Agree about the Petty Bellman cuts! Really nice and Warner did some nice, heavy-duty packaging! Thanks for watching!

[@Zimmy68]

The current Some Girls may be considered "audiophile" since it is a 1/2 speed Abbey Road mastering. But most likely from digital files. I don't own it so I can't speak to the quality.

[@michaelrogers8126]
