misty in roots on CD

Post by mick d »

I would really like to hear some classic Misty in Roots, however it seems most of their output is mainly on vinyl and what's issued on CD is now very rare. How can I get a hold of these highly regarded albums?

Mick,

Found this one:

In Lansing, Michigan in the middle of nowhere.

Seek and you shall find. Just don't pay a grip online.

Yeah, I would never pay a lot of money online. So is the live album issued on CD?

Mick,

It was issued on Kaz and People United labels. As far as I know, there was not a legitamate CD pressing.

When I lived in the Bay Area (31 years) I used to see a lot of Misty in Roots releases, particularly the newer ones on CD. Try Ernie B's. You may find something. Just buy a bunch of clearance CDs to make up for 6.00 shipping charge.

-Best-

Hi,

This was issued legitimately on CD and is on the Kaz label.

A friend of mine picked it up some time ago and Ive been looking for a copy myself ever since.

Respect

Mick D; Generally all kind of deejays 80-89. I'm mainly interested in vinyl.

I'm actually compiling a discography of all Misty In Roots releases and the live album has been released on CD twice. First by Kaz in 1990 and then 1997 by Snapper on the Double CD i linked earlier.

But the real live album to search for by Misty in Roots is Live over Sweden. Superior! I've got two copies of it on vinyl if there's any one that is hunting for it and have interesting trades.
