Honorable Mentions & Noteworthies:
- There were some fancy & super sweet re-issues this year worthy of praise, some of them on vinyl for the first time:
- Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
- Deltron 3030 (Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Kid Koala, Dan the Automator)
- Journey - Greatest Hits vol. 2
- The Monkees HEAD on clear wax (only 500 pressed)
- Ben Folds Five's first LP
- Go-Go's Beauty & The Beat 30th anniversary on pink vinyl
- Paul McCartney McCartney & McCartney II Deluxe 2LP editions with extra tracks
- Glassjaw - Worship & Tribute on white vinyl
- Sugar - Copper Blue
- The Bangles' Sweetheart of the Sun would probably battle Duran Duran for #3, had it been
released on vinyl. It's a fantastic album - their best yet, IMO. UPDATE, 1.31.2012: Sweetheart of the Rodeo DID get a vinyl release, and although it wasn't an easy decision, I concluded that it was slightly better than Duran Duran. So, I updated the list, which is why there's now 21 Fancy LPs for the year. - I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a vinyl version of Condensate by The Original 7ven (formerly The Time). When I spoke with Jellybean Johnson at September's fDeluxe show he seemed fairly certain that it would make it onto vinyl. It's a great album, and all great albums deserve to be on wax!
As always, feel free to post your faves of the past year. Anything you think I missed? Let me know!
