What music have you purchased today.
I don't think we have "what music have you purchased today" thread?
 I don't expect this to be a very popular thread with all the streaming going on these days but who knows! I don't have plans to purchase tons of music on physical media but do have to stock up on some of my favorites a little at a time.  I decided to purchase SACD mostly for now. So today's purchase is all SACD 1. Ben Webster Gentle Ben SACD 2. Ben Webster The Soul of Ben Webster SACD 3. Ray Brown Soular Energy SACD 4. Hugh Masekela Hope SACD

The wife said recently -- "please don't buy any more single LP's."
After that conversation, I said to myself, okay a few more she won't notice & so I'll concentrate on box sets.  Don't ask me what they sound like -- I can't even play LP's yet.  Best Sirs, Bob 35 pounds of liquorish  200g, 45RPM, 12LP box set  180g, 33RPM, 4LP & Booklet  I like Bowie -- but not "all in" on his various box sets. These are some of his top 10 LP's IMO.  Some stragglers that made it into the "cart"  A few more -- Tommy James & the Shondells - I have an original I bought in the day -- but, like it enough to get a fresh copy

Just downloaded from HDTracks the 24/96 FLAC file of Steve Tyrell - A Song For You. This is an excellent recording.

Bob,
The SRV box set is awesome, I have the same one. Like Craig I’m an Annie Lennox fan so I’ll look forward to your thoughts on that one too! Mitch

Bob - That Stevie Ray Vaughan 45 RPM boxset is one of the finest recordings I have. Couldn't Stand The Weather is absolutely stunning.
