LP to CD

[BusyLizzie]

Just wondered if anyone could help and offer any suggestions please. I'm trying to track down if two of our favourite LP's are now available on CD but I'm not having much success. We enjoy listening to "Reflections" Original Instrumental Hits and "Imaginations" Further Reflections but after lots of play would prefer to hear them through our CD system. I can't seem to find them anywhere and I don't think our originals would burn that well......any ideas please?

No sorry but hope you manage to sort it out. If the quality of your LP is not so good, could you download the music from say Amazon or Torrent onto your pc then cut a disc?

I did a scout through eBay and Amazon and the closest I could find to match the track listing on 'Reflections' Original Instrumental Hits is this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000P1NHBI/?tag=shoppingcom03-21

I wonder if the original LP had a revamp and change of name/artwork when it was re-released on CD? The good news is that the CD is available for a princely 49p!



PS If you have a second, Busy Liz, could you post some of the track listings for Imaginations, Further Reflections?
The only one I can find seems to have 'Song for Guy' on it and 'Ode to Adeline', both available on Amazon as piano compilations, but I don't know if I've got the right LP/CD.

Perhaps you've never heard of some of the names but both LP's are so lovely and relaxing. They are years old and I've tried desperately to search them out on CD - just thought some of our music boffins might be able to help! I was listening to Ben Cross (he portrayed Harold Abrahams in 'Chariots of Fire') talking to Dermot O'Leary on the radio yesterday which made me want to have another go at trying to replace our well-played LP's.

Again, many thanks for your help.

Thank you so much for your help Sublime. There seems a lot of identical tracks there and I think at those prices I'm going to buy anyway but I'll have a more detailed look later tomorrow.

You're a star............:mysmilie_12:
