Hello all,
Just one of my Little Question.. Here it is: What is your prefered music
album (CD or LP). You know that's the one that you will bring with you
on a desert island. Of course this desert island must have electricity
so you can use your Hi-Fi gear.

Also why this particular album?

I would have a hard time with that, but taking this logically, it would
probably be Scritti Politti's "Songs To Remember", for me. Because as
advertised, they are songs to remember. I bought it when it first came
out, and its the only album from that period that I still listen to
today. Its full of style, depth and soul. It has a bit of everything;
jazz, funk, reggae, soul, pop, you name it. I have both the original LP
and the original CD version, and of course, it would be the LP version
for me. I've compared the two and there's no contest as to which is
superior and more faithful and accurate to the original sound of the
music.

Thank for your answer. I will try to find this album in my area. For me
there is several choice: Beyond The Missouri Sky by Charlie Haden and
Pat Metheny. Duality by Lisa Guerrard. L'Heptade by Harmonium, Gustav
Mahler 5th Symphony. The Complete Nocturnes and Impromptus of Frédéric
Chopin played by Angela Hewitt.

And I forgot the latest CD from Willow, a young jazz singer from
Montréal . I saw her in the Savoy room at the Metropolis in Montréal and
it was simply wonderfull. She is extremely talented and she love singing
for her public. So her CD will go to the desert Island too.

I'd actually have to take three, and three pieces of equipment to play them
on plus the amplifiers and speakers (don't like headphones for long term
listening).

1) "Cats" - the original cast album on LP

2) "The Harry Nilsson Anthology" on CD

3) "The Verdi Requiem" via Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra and Temple
Choir on 7-1/2" open reel tape.

With those three I could like on a desert island, so long as my hut had
walls and electricity.

But wait, where's Beethoven? Where's Mozart? Where's the Beatles? Where's
Louie? Where's......

You wanted to know why, I found out after posting this. I've added
comments.

I love the tunes and I love the poems. And I'm a cat-lover. Enough said?


2) "The Harry Nilsson Anthology" on CD

To my mind, perhaps the most underappreciated and creative pop/rock musician
in the US over the last fifty years. Wears better than the Beatles, and
that's saying a lot. Besides, I get to slip in two disks, this way.....

3) "The Verdi Requiem" via Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra and
Temple Choir on 7-1/2" open reel tape.

Sublime and uplifting music and a superb performance. I never get tired of
it.

Readers Digest Records (LP)
Chesky (cd)

If it had to be just ONE:
Grainger: Lincolnshire Posy/Rogers: Three Japanese Dances/Strauss:
Serenade Op.7 Fennell/Eastman Wind Ensemble Mercury

If I could expand to three:
Mozart: Requiem Hogwood
Handel: Messiah Pearlman/Boston Baroque Telarc

To add one last one:
Beatles: Abbey Road

Yep, the best IMO. I like both the LP and the CD.

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters 1973.
Because Hancock has been one of the greatest influences on my playing.

Weather Report - Mr Gone 1978.
Because of Pastorius (Punk Jazz!), Zawinul and Shorter.

J.S. Bach - Brandenburgse Konzerte - Harnoncourt, 1994.
Because Bach done by Harnoncourt brings tears to my eyes.

Faure - Requiem - Tilson Thomas.
Might not be the best performance, but it's the only one I have.
Because this music says it all.

I'm teaching the Faure to someone right now. What a great work.

yeah! a great fun album.
I saw doing him acoustic duets with Chick Corea

A great album. overall, but I liked Vitous better than Pastorius.
More musical, less showy IMO

It would have to be something that's on my digital music player. That's
where I keep my favorite music. Hmm, Eagles, Toscanini, Joel, stuff I
recorded...
