Re-discovered missing classics.
LA's musical tastes vary as much as mine. Allowing her to dig into CD collections when visitng friends will usually lead to some begging for me to "copy" some her discoveries.
Copy schmocky... half.com or Amazon Used should have what she needs as original. Case in point: Fiona Apple's 1996 debut "Tidal" and the absolute perfect soul record of the 70's: Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life" (make sure and get the 2000 Motown remaster).

Fiona's debut is a damn good record. not what I am into right now, but when you can pick it up for 3.58 in "very good"condition (thats a total of $6.00 shipped), you cannot go wrong.

Stevie on the otherhand is a different story altogether. This double album+EP is so intense and loved... you'll be lucky to find it used for less than 20.00. You know what...fcuk it, buy this one new... the harmonics of this "true" live studio recording's mixdown is whats albums SHOULD sound like: compression free and unlimited. Buy this record for your kids if not for you....it goes without saying how much passion can be found here.
