Top ten vinyl wants

sonofkenet.jpg

There’s really no logical explanation why I want certain albums on vinyl (though desire doesn't need an explanation) but it’s partly to do with that warm, analogue sound, the album sleeve... and being pretentious.

In truth, sound quality has little to do with it – my most passionate and profound musical experiences were probably in the 1980s on my hissy Sony Walkman listening to albums taped from scratched records borrowed from my local library.

I’ve wanted all of the following for years, and could go and buy them all on eBay or Discogs today, but that would be cheating. Obviously I want to come across them randomly in charity shops for £1.

1. Popol Vuh – Aquirre (film soundtrack)
2. Moondog – Moondog
3. Meredith Monk – Key
4. Sleep – Dopesmoker
5. Moe Tucker – I Feel So Far Away: Anthology 1974-1998
6. Sons of Kemet – Your Queen Is A Reptile
7. La Planete Sauvage
(film soundtrack)
8. Incredible String band – U
9. Dawn of the Dead
(film soundtrack)
10. Lô Borges/Milton Nascimento – Clube da Esquina
