What with the new craze in compact discs and all, I would just LOVE to replace some of my old favorite LPs with CDs. Here is a short list of albums that I anxiously await the release in CD format. I could easily go on and on, but choose to limit myself to twenty titles (for now). Of course, this will undoubtedly start (or continue) a raging debate on the state of music today. The list is ROUGHLY in descending order of popularity. (Of course I'd like to have them all!) Any comments; suggested additions; inflence with the CD "pub- lishers"; etc. etc. etc. -- Mike "CDs modernize the MEDIUM, not the music" McCarthy (hpfcla!hpfcms!) mpm Note: each entry is artist (or composer) followed by title (and conductor for classical pieces). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Billy Cobham / Spectrum Daryl Hall & John Oates / Abandoned Luncheonette Erik Satie / Monotones, Jack in the Box (Lanchbery) Beatles / Sgt.

Here is a Personally, I'd like to see all of the earlier ELP stuff (i.e., Pre Brain Salad Surgery). Sorta on this subject, can anyone tell me 1) if European CD prices are any better than US CD prices 2) if so, where are some good places to look in Germany, France or the UK? I'd love to at least pick up the CD by "The Smiths" that Tower seems obliged to charge $19.95 for, even when their "normal" CDs are on sale for $12... -- and the man in the suit just bought a new car, with the profits he made on your dreams...
