Great LPs that didnt make it to LP

Post by vlad »

in the 90's and early 00's CDs were in, vinyl was out

List the great albums - not compilations - that didn't make it to LP.

A few that come to mind:

> Steel Pulse, Rage & Fury, 1997 (some absolute killers in this one, notably the Ku Klux Klan remake - monster. How did this not make it even as a 12"?...: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Sh-ntUlZY)

> Gregory Isaacs, Dapper Slapper, RAS recs. Good stuff in there, as you run dry from his better recordings

> Loads of Clinton Fearon albums

Junior Reid "Original Foreign Mind" is one of the 10 best LPs I own (imho). Blackman seed on the Stalag Riddim mixed by Peter Chemist is the bomb. Never saw a CD release sadly and the sound on my LP is kinda shabby.

Hi Gabranth

Original Foreign Mind was released on CD on the Black Roots label. I had a copy myself up until a year or so ago when I gave it to a friend

Really? Well then our Roots Archives is wrong. It doesn't mention the CD. But thanks for the info. Now I guess I'll have to look out for it.

Hi Gabranth

I bought my copy from System Records about 6-7 years ago. It was the same as this but I never realised it was a CDR. I only realised tonight when I did the search

I can say though that from memory the sound quality was pretty good

Regards

@Rootsman: Yeah I found that one yesterday too. Sadly it's out of stock. I don't mind that CD-R thing. The sound quality can't be much worse than my record anyway ;-) Thanks again!
