I recently bought, for not much money, a cd player / turntable comination . Records to either sd card or usb drive in mp3 format from turntable (not in really high quality, but still...)
Anyway I've been going through the collection of vinyl that I've had sitting in cupboards around the house and finding all sorts of treasures.
Such as...
*Stockhausen: A festival of Hits*
Was this Deutsche Grammaphon's most depserate ever bid for sales? Stockhausen? Hits? Contains extracts from Song of the Youths, Stimmung,Kontakte, Hymnen,Kurzwellen and Telemusik. Sound like hits to me.
Brian Eno EG editions.
Discrete Music, Music for Films and the two albums he did with Robert Fripp No Pussyfooting and the other one.
Great music, but Music for Films is ruined for me. I don't know if any 411ers in England used to watch a programme called "Words and Pictures" - one of those educational programmes the BBC used to put out. I reckon they used Music for films as a soundtrack, because the first Track on the album I am certain goes with a cartoon of Moth in the Moonlight or some such thing.
Malcolm McLaren Duck Rock
Why don't people fall down and worship this album more often? World Music / Rap / Scratching - it all starts here. And sure McLaren was out to make a dollar, but he had impeccable taste. Soweto / Buffalo Girls / Double Dutch. Great stuff. And my wife (fashion designer) loves it because it's got Vivian Westwood Dresses on the cover.
Human League - Dare.
Don't you want it baby?
A New Order Blue Monday 12" (in the floppy disk cover) What a great song.
Leon Redbone - On the Tracks
John Fahey and Leo Kotkke albums. My Feet are Smiling is a great live album.
The Flying Lizards - their version oif money is still a classic
Lots of great classical stuff that I'd forgotten.
Anmd an awful lot of stuff that "what was I thinking" is the only response to. Ellen Foley, Emerson lake and Palmer's "Love beach". Grace Jones, Slave to the Rhthym. Suzi Quatro singles (my wife's I'm happy to say)The Sweet Live album. Howard Jones. The Horror, the Horror
So much fun to be had, so much music to listen to

Nice collection - I just started moving a few favorites to digital myself, more for sampling purposes tho.

Kudos to Mclaren and Human League. What's wrong with Howard Jones? Don't you like that Jupiter 8 thingy in New Song?
