A new thread, to recommend vinyl that is available new online (anywhere), as distinct from titles that one has no option but to find used, on eBay, Discogs, etc.
For many years I'd been on the look-out for a used copy of the eponymous Judee Sill album, released in 1971. The 'net brought out the fact that it had become a bit of a cult item, having sold in minuscule quantities at the time of its original release, and now selling for $100+ on eBay. The same fate befell its follow-up "Heart Food' released in 1973. Her life thereafter took a tragic path, and she died young. Both albums have since been re-issued by the ' 4 Men with Beards' label on 180 gm vinyl, with original gatefold covers, and are available on Flipkart:
Judee Sill -: Flipkart.com
Heart Food -: Flipkart.com
I've picked up both recently, and they're excellent pressings, with very quiet vinyl. Quirky songwriting, quite different from your standard early 70s singer-songwriter stuff, and also with amazingly clean recording quality. Strongly recommended.
PS. Ignore the errors in flipkart's database. Their search engine has become totally muddled up.
