What gold CDs have you bought lately? Or have in your collection?

I've only got APP's Tales of Mystery and Imagination.

The only gold CDs in my collection came to me by accident -- a couple of soundtrack albums that were included in deluxe box sets of films on laserdisc.  Come to think of it, I have one LD itself that's gold -- Orson Welles' The Trial, issued by the Roan Group.  I have no idea what else may have been issued on gold.

I think I have a couple that qualify.

Aja - Steely Dan

The Yes Album - Yes

Aja was a nice cd so the Gold edition wasn't earth shattering to me but since the early Yes albums didn't seem to be recorded all that well the MoFi Gold edition was a pretty big improvement, even on my modest audio system.

Yup. The only gold disc in my collection is the Yes album.  Sounds pretty good.

 

I casually collect SACDs and DVD-As and picked up the gold disc in a used bin at a local store. 

Nope, Lee.  Not Fragile.  But, The Yes Album.

 

It is a MoFi release.  Limited Edition.  #496, in fact.  It sounds great though.  I'm not really that familiar with Yes, but I know: I've Seen All Good People.

 

I LOVE finding high-rez stuff in used bins.    I wonder, often, how/why it ends up there...

Mike, what stores are you finding this stuff in the used bins? Maybe I have to hit the used record stores again like I did in high school.

Well...seeing as how most media stores near me are going under...it's getting more and more difficult.

 

But, I still find "used" stuff at my local FYE stores (TransWorld Entertainment).  And I've got one small local LP/CD shop near me that I check out every once in a while...

I love to find the occasional used/out-of-print treasure at FYE, but just this evening learned that the one in my town is closing.  Not exactly a shock, since they've been closing stores here and there for the past couple of years, but now the nearest ones will be 30-45 minutes away.  And you know damned well they won't last forever.

 

Don't want to derail Lee's thread, but a number of our local FYE's have closed over the past several months.  Just two left in the two big local malls. 

 

Once they're gone...there will be no good-sized local retailers left carrying used high-rez discs (trying to get it back on topic...). 
 

 

I have the soundtrack to Krull on a gold disc. Great James Horner score!
