...and it's one of the FINEST albums in my collection. The rumors surrounding the recording sessions, the interplay between Miles and Sonny Rollins.... wow. gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
So...POST 'EM UP! What's the oldest full album in your collection? I have several older sitting on the shelf but in my enormous Itunes library, this one happens to be the current oldest.

Ummm - Threepenny Opera original Off-Brodway Cast (with John Astin, Beatrice Arthur and Paul Dooley - Ed Asner spent some time in the Theatre deLys "bijou" production, too...), from 1954 or so, i think.

Mine is also Miles Davis, but Bitches Brew (1969 I think). Off the top of my head, I believe the next one is almost 10 years younger: Star Wars Original Soundtrack - 2 LP set. Performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, released in 1977.

Yeah, but it's gutteral screaming. You did say music, yes? Maybe I'm out on a technicality.

Looks like mine is "Straight no chaser" soundtrack by Thelonious Monk. 1946! lol
I don't listen to it much(I'm not sure why,as it's a very good album). I do have Bags groove as well and it's an awesome cd! :-)

indeed, i wasn't counting my Kurt Schwitters spoken word tape, coz as tjayF pointed out, it's not really music.
i couldn't stop wondering if i had any older albums. after digging into my collection i found these albums without dates: Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Folkways Blues compilation with Leadbelly and Muddy Waters, Johnny Maddox's Ragtime Twenties... but i imagine they were released in the 50's or 60's. The oldest album I could find that actually has a date is my 1965 Charlie Parker...

Mine is Tom Wait's Closing Time from 1973...I lose! Bet I'd win if we were playing what's the newest album in your digital collection ;)
My Trusted MOGs
Using the itunes years method..1923:Bessie Smith the Complete Recordings Vol. 1.
My Trusted MOGs
Oldest in itunes is Thelonius Monk at Carnegie Hall, 1957.
My Trusted MOGs
I um, need to make an amendment....
It's Anita O'day's The Lady Is a Tramp, 1952. I didn't have it tagged right.

Mine is also Miles Davis, Ascenseur Pour L'Échafaud, the movie soundtrack from 1958.

I have some 78s here, too, but haven't sorted through or catalogued them, so I don't think they would count. Same with my big band stuff. And how do we classify the classical? Tunes written a long time ago, but th recording isn't so much.
I guess, by the strictest sense, it'd be Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"-1959. Wow, Miles seems to show up a lot here, doesn't he?
My Trusted MOGs
Um, I have to change my answer. I didn't know the original year of Wayne Newton's album 'Songs For A Merry Christmas' which I acquired over last weekend. I looked it up on the 'net & found it was 1966(the digital release I bought said '08).
My Trusted MOGs
Monk & Coltrane The Complete Riverside Recording - 1957. Like others, Miles was #2 w/ Kind of Blue
My Trusted MOGs
Did you really want to admit that, August? haha. Although, Wayne was great before he became a cartoon of himself....
I also have Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants (1954) on the pod. It was actually recorded in the same sessions with the same personnel as Bag's Groove. And Eric, 3 out of my top 4 are Miles discs...
My Trusted MOGs
I've got a little more variety, Jameson - Coltrane "Giant Steps is 3rd and Monk "Monk's Dream" is 4th...Guess I didn't get the Miles stuff until later down the road - actually, I just checked and really don't have much of his stuff digitally speaking, although I do have a ton of his stuff...
My Trusted MOGs
Well, I was kinda hesitant about that admission, although that Newton album was a holiday tradition in my family . . . .
