Best Vibes in Jazz

I'm looking for some really great recordings that highlight or feature the vibes. I have a few, but they are post 1980, and too contemporary for my tastes. I really want to find some good 60s and 70s traditional jazz recordings (performance and sonics). Please educate me on the great performers of the vibes and what albums to buy (vinyl and CD are welcome). Thanks.

Frap and Jbaxley: Thanks for the very specific suggestions--I'm going to buy those, assuming I can find them.
Kubla and SD: Sounds like I need some Lionel Hampton--did you know his name appears on no less than 150 albums? Since I'm probably not going to get all of these--at least initially--can you all suggest maybe the top three that I should get?
