I like Oliver Nelson mentioned by Frogman. Material + sound make this album one of the most desirable by any jazz collector.

I've written about this elsewhere... Frazey Ford "Obadiah".

Slightly bass heavy but otherwise great!

Albertporter: My copy is a "Linn Seleckt", from back in the day. (Don't know if that makes a difference).

Janis Joplin "I've Got dem O'l Kozmic Blues Again Mama" Speakers Corner, Sonny Boy Williamson "Keep it to Ourselves" QRP.

three that are 10+ to my ears....

'Come Friday', The Chris Barber Band, Jeton DTD Lp, 100.3306
'St. Louis Blues' on side 2 is epic. Germans recording Brits playing Dixieland......but it soars.

'Verite Du Clavecin', Sarastro 7701, 45rpm. wonderful harpsichord music. Sarastro is a late 70's French label of classical music all on 45rpm......all wonderfully recorded and great sounding. mostly small scale intimate music. there are 28 titles (one is a double album), I have them all and every one is excellent.

"Bela Bartok, Les Six Quatuors", Quatuor Vegh, Valois CMB 23, 3 Lp Box Set. there are reissues on other labels that are quite good, but this is the set to have.
