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

Ooh Sons of Kemet, loving that.
Though I think putting that on the list makes you Cornwall's secret hipster.
Yes great record and great cover. I'm only a hipster if I'm stroking my beard and sipping my single-origin expresso whilst listening to it.
