I would like recommendations >from people who have found good total albums. I buy more 45s than I do albums. Unless you've heard the album already you're taking a chance. So when I hear a song on the radio I like I look for it on a 45. Besides I have a rule when I'm at home playing records, I never play two songs in a row by the same artist (both sides of an album at one sitting - GOD FORBID!). For people in the San Francisco area you can go to Rough Trade records and they will actually play a record for you before you buy it, and these are new records.
