TBVO Album Poll and Future Album Nominations

[Josh Mound]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have a new TBVO that should be posted soon on Bill Withers's Still Bill. When Withers died, I'd been working on several TBVOs. (At any given time, I have at least three or four in progress, since I typically have to hit the pause button at some point in each TBVO when I discover that I need another CD, should to get in touch with a mastering engineer, etc.) Since I don't have a strong preference on which one to proceed with next, I thought I'd put it up to a vote.

 

I also wanted to create a spreadsheet where you can nominate an album (or second, third, etc. someone else's nomination) for a future TBVO. I've included a column where you can indicate if you know that the album in question has three or more unique masterings. It's okay if you don't know. But if you know for a fact that it doesn't, then it probably isn't a good candidate for a TBVO, even if it's a classic album. 

 

Obviously, since I have to have enough interest in the album to listen to it dozens and dozens of times, not to mention the recording research, I reserve the right to avoid albums based on my tastes. (No Duran Duran albums need apply.) Nonetheless, it would be helpful to gauge interest in various albums.

 

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

Josh
