I believe my New Year's Resolution needs to be… "Buy less music"…..
Betty Davis: This Is It! (2005 Vampisoul compilation)
Bubble Puppy: A Gathering Of Promises
Cardiacs: Guns
Patricia Barber: Nightclub (signed)
Josephine Baker: Josephine Baker (2CD DCC)
Faith Hill: Cry (DVD-Audio)
David Bowie: 17-Track Album Sampler (EMI promo)
Alex Chilton: 19 Years (Rhino comp - never really bothered to pick this up before but seeing that it has a few Big Star Third tracks - and no other Big Star tracks - made me want to compare these masterings with all the others I have of that album. Plus, it's quite a decent comp.)
Marshall Crenshaw: Marshall Crenshaw (MFSL SACD)
Y Kant Tori Read: Y Kant Tori Read (original Atlantic CD! Quite likely the most valuable item in my collection now, including all the NWW exclusive releases, Stranger Than Fiction comp, etc. I hadn't realized this was originally released on CD as well as LP so I figured if I came across it, it would most certainly be a bootleg version, like the Buckingham Nicks CD floating around. After reading the various information about this release, there is no doubt it's the original issue. Not in the best condition but EAC ripped it fine. Yee-haw!)
Blue Man Group: Audio (DVD-Audio)
Alex Chilton: Free Again - The "1970" Sessions (I have the LP version on its way, the CD has more tracks)
Nick Lowe: Go 'Way Hound Dog (Record Store Day 78RPM 10" - I've been on the lookout for some vintage 78RPM release just to try out the 78 setting on my record player really so I thought this release would be amusing to have.)
Deep Purple: King Biscuit Flower Hour (2CD)
Talking Heads: Speaking In Tongues (JP Target)
Michael Jackson: Jam (CD single 4-trk)
Mike Oldfield: The Millennium Bell
Françoise Hardy: Et Si Je M'en Vais Avant Toi
The Rolling Stones: ABKCO's The Rolling Stones Remastered Series (promo SACD - this one differs from the previous promo SACD I picked up in that it has only six tracks and it is SACD only, not a hybrid. This one was apparently given away with certain CD players. Strange that it's SACD only since this is a promotional release - hybrid would have made SACD more portable and accessible - and it touts the remastered Rolling Stones hybrid releases.)
Bing Crosby & David Bowie: Little Drummer Boy / Peace On Earth 7"
Various artists: No New York (James Chance, Teenage Jesus, Mars, D.N.A)
Crass: Best Before… 1984
Tori Amos: Glory Of The 80's (single)

Mitsuko Uchida & Mark Steinberg: Mozart Sonatas For Piano And Violin (SACD)

Mike Oldfield: Exposed (2LP quadraphonic)
The Meters: Fire In The Bayou (LP - a friend of mine asked me to keep an eye out for her. At first I thought it was an original press but it's really too clean and seems to be a heavy pressing so it must be a recent reissue. Has original Reprise label so it's hard to tell who repressed it.)
