[net.music] WANTED: in CD Format

mpm@hpfcla.UUCP (10/19/85)

     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.

Note:  each entry is artist (or composer) followed by title (and
conductor for classical pieces).

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...
