705.0. "Anyone seen these on CD ?" by COOKIE::BERGSTROM () Fri Apr 03 1987 18:37



In replying to note 704, I realized that perhaps I could
inquire directly in a separate note about CD's I have been
looking for. I've got over a hundred of the expensive 
little devils, and have been combing record stores out 
here in Denver and Colorado Springs, and also, somewhat
cursorially, in the Boston area, for certain of my 
favorites, so far to no avail. I would like to find :

The Stone Flower by Prokofiev
Oratorios by Handel, including Ariodante, Solomon, 
	             and Israel in Egypt
The Creation by Hayden
Good selection of Bach Cantatas - 
		     have many already, but am missing
		     147, 191, 213 (? Shepards Cantata),
		     and others I know by music but not by
		     number

Cavatina by Stanley Meyers

B. Dylan - Blonde on Blonde and Bringing it All Back Home
J. Hendrix - Axis : Love is Bold
Jefferson Airplane - Crown of Creation, 
		     After Bathing at Baxters,
		     and Volunteers (Have the Fulton 
				     Street set already)
Grateful Dead - American Beauty, Workingman's Dead, 
		Europe Tour Set (whatever its called)
Maria Muldaur - 1st album with Mignight at the Oasis
Hot Tuna - any or all
Papa John Creach - 1st album with Janitor Drives a Cadillac
Dan Hicks - anything


Anybody seen any of this on CD, or know when if and when it 
might be released. Have not found the paperback books of 
listings to helpful, in that I have found many things in CD 
which were not listed in them.

    Re:  Dylan (Blonde on Blonde and Bringing it all Back Home)
    
    I believe Quality Paperback Book Club ran an ad in Atlantic offering 
    a three-CD version of Biograph for $20-25.

    AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE is available as (I believe) an import. BCD
    has it.
    
    There is also one Hot Tuna CD that I know of. It's a concert
    disc, called, I think, LIVE TUNA. It's on a small label called
    Relix Records. Relix also has a Jorma Kaukonen solo CD, as well
    as a Robert Hunter solo CD. All are domestic CD's and I've seen
    them all over the Boston area.

705.3Official "Where is it"KRYPTN::JASNIEWSKIMon Apr 06 1987 17:0024
    
    	So, lets make this the official "has anyone seen these" note,
    even though the notes format will soon "bury" #705!
    
    	Too bad the people who make and market CDs dont listen to the
    albums they choose to CDify. There's a lot of real good stuff and
    when you look under that artist, it's "Oh Well - Everything But..."
    
    	You'd think that they'd think that some people would *love*
    to replace their old tired vinyl medium with a nice fresh CD! But
    Noooooooooo! Nobody would want to but *that* old thing...
    
    	Yeah, they do have "Dark side of the moon"...
    
    	But not:
    
    	1. Al Dimeola's first album
    	2. Jean Luc Ponty's first albums
    	3. Emerson Lake and Palmer's first album
    	4. ZZ top's first.
    	5. ect

    Thanks for the info. Will look for the Hot Tuna and Jorma Kaukonen
    CD's. It also occurred to me that I haven't seen anything by the
    Byrds or the Youngbloods. It would be great if the older stuff was
    all available. I don't even have a turntable. It isn't sound quality
    that I care so much about, but the ease of use and durability of
    CD's.

705.6ect's first album?SYLPH::ALLENRoger AllenTue Apr 07 1987 01:216
    RE .4
    
    I suspect that "ect" is an anagram of "etc". But since I didn't
    write .3, I could be wrong.   :-)

    re:.5
    
    At last! Someone else who is jsut as, if not more, concerned
    about the convenience as the quality.
    
    There is a Byrds collection (Greatest Hits or Best of or something
    on that order) that was just released a few weeks ago. I haven't
    bought it yet, so I can't tell you how it sounds.
    
    I'm still *gnash* *gnash* waiting for the Traffic CD's to show up.
    BCD has them on order, but they don't know when they're going to
    show up.

        I saw and heard the Byrds collection in a store the other
        day; it sounded good, but I was in a crowded store.  It looks
        like an import; I didn't recognize the label.  I would have
        liked a different song selection, but it at least had `The
        Bells of Rhymney' and `Eight Miles High'.

705.9The Byrds CollectionTLE::WARDJohn WardThu Apr 09 1987 21:534
	I've seen `The Byrds Collection' at Rockit in Nashua, NH.
	I believe it's distributed by Castle Comunications -- the
	same people who brought you `The Move: The Collection'.
705.10AKOV68::BOYAJIANHave a merely acceptable dayFri Apr 10 1987 06:2215
    Castle has a whole bunch of these under the title "The Collectors'
    Series". Ones I have from this series are SALLY OLDFIELD: THE
    COLLECTION, THE PROCOL HARUM COLLECTION, and WHITE BOY BLUES.
    Others I've seen include WHITE BOY BLUES II and collections of
    Hawkwind and The Nice.
    
    THE PROCOL HARUM COLLECTION was an especial delight because it
    doesn't duplicate anything from the other two PH CD's (WHITE
    SHADE OF PALE and SALTY DOG) except for the title cuts. Well, it
    *does* have "Conquistador", but it's the superior (imho*) live
    version.
