Vinyl Me, Please Book

I have the book as well, and use them as listening notes sometimes when I'm listening to an album that I own. It's a decent coffee table read even if I disagreee with some of the selections.

Which one was the hardest to find on vinyl or are they all easy to get now?

This is pretty impressive @Mammone38! I haven't been through the book, but I don't think I've even listened to most list of Top 100 anything, let alone hunted down a whole list in physical copies.

Next you should work on Fremer's 100 All-Analog LP Reissues Worth Owning: 100 Recommended All-Analog LP Reissues Worth Owning

I bet a ton of those albums would serve as awesome reference albums for the future. TAS also has a "Super LP" list, but it's much longer.

...that sounds like a rad challenge!

The hardest was “Evenings” and the “Queens of the....” it took me a year to finally track down the “Evenings” record. Others like the Queens and Tom Waits records were sort of easy, but took a while to save up the cash.

This is really cool @Mammone38! I actually picked up the book a while back and streamed one album each morning on my way to work (working through the book). Some were difficult to get through, but it was also a fantastic way for me to experience new music. I also have the 1001 albums... book but have not worked through that yet.

Im actually in the process of listening to 1 album per day from The New York Times Essential Library: Jazz: A Critic's Guide to the 100 Most Important Recordings by Ben Ratliff, and funnily enough I just yesterday finished his book on John Coltrane (which was decent).

Nice! I definitely need to pick that book up!

Wow, that's impressive. Do you have any plan to move on to 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die?

I'm currently listening to every album in this book in order as one of my new year's resolutions/goals for 2019. I'm currently on album 790 out of 1001. I'd definitely recommend the book. Collecting all 1001 albums though, that sounds like quite it would be quite a feat.
