What is the one CD you can't find?


Years ago I had listened to an audiophile test album with a white cover and little credits to go on the back side. I fell in love with it immediatly. The owner of the album was kind enough to make me a tape but would not part with it at any price. Later I discovered that members of the band Steps Ahead played on it, and even released one of the tunes on their cd. I have searched for years to find it on either cd or vynal yet have never come across it.This would be my greatest find. Just wondering how many others have a similar situation.And what is the one cd you just can't get?

It's not really a matter of not finding this particular CD although it is very rare. I want this one to complete a collection. Once I find it I will have ALL of the Classic Records gold CDs that were released in the mid to late nineties. I have advertised a WTB for it here at audiogon, but haven't gotten a single reply.

Over the past 2.5 years, only one copy of it was listed on ebay (I know because the first thing I do every morning is search for it both here and on ebay), and that was just this past week. I set up my auction sniper to bid more than $300 for it seconds before it would close, but even with that outrageously high bid, another bidder had proxied more than that into his existing bid and he won.

Using Google to search the internet for this CD, I found a single copy for sale in Europe. The asking price is 300 Euros which is, today, more than $400. I'm not a rich man, so this is just too high for me to accept.

The CD is Belafonte Sings the Blues, Classsic Records # LSPCD-1972. If someone reading this has it and wants to make a fast $250, he/she is invited to contact me.
