I did actually come across a copy of Horace's Phase 1 in the bins a few years ago but the picture of the kaftan turned me off.

I bought Isaac Hayes' records because they have kaftans on the covers.

Cannonball Adderley Quintet 'Live At The Lighthouse' (Riverside blue reel/mike DG mono)

[kh1958]

The Rex Stewart Memorial Album (Prestige, blue label)

Blows away the stereo version.

Never heard of it. Is it any good?

[Teasing the Korean]

Cal Tjader/Lalo Schifrin - Several Shades of Jade - Verve (mono)

[clifford_thornton]

I'd give 1/32nd of my left nut to have a clean early pressing of KOB.

[blajay]

Lester Young--The Aladdin Sessions (Blue Note Re-Issue Series)

The Cedar Walton Trio (with Sam Jones and Louis Hayes and Special Guest Star Clifford Jordan)--A Night at Boomers, Vol. 2 (Muse)

Bud Powell--roost rlp 412 (Roulette-EMI)

Not to gloat, but I have a pristine mono six eye. Gorgeous...

Don't know if this kind of linking is allowed. If not apologies in advance!

While obviously not an early pressing this this is where I got mine and it sounds pretty sweet to me!:

Mine was about a VG+ but still a little crackly. I gave it up for a CD copy and, of course, a fistful of dollars.

[blajay]

J.J. Johnson--The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson Volume 2 (Liberty Pressing)

[blajay]

Clark Terry--Duke With A Difference w/Paul Gonsalves, Johnny Hodges, Billy Strayhorn, and Tyree Glenn (Riverside, Stereo)

"In a Sentimental Mood" with vocal by Marian Bruce is sweet

[blajay]

Clerk Terry--Self-Titled...Swahili (Emarcy OG)

Definitely the most cookin' Clark Terry record with the likes of Art Blakey and Horace Silver on it

[blajay]

Art Tatum--The Greatest Piano of Them All (Verve)

[Chalupa]

I think I remember reading something about all of the vinyl versions of KOB being a couple of semi-tones off??? Or maybe I'm getting it confused w/ some other LP??

NOT EVEN ONE semitone off. First song in D minor. On LP, in the cracks between D minor and Eb minor. Big deal. Unless you're trying to play along with the record.

John Dankworth 'The $1,000,000 Collection' (Stereo Fontana, US pressing).

Not a best-of, but an orchestral suite inspired by a particular collection of paintings.

Tony Coe and Kenny Wheeler are in the band.

I just spun this a few pages back. A real solid album, but then so is everything I've heard by Dankworth.

Get the Zodiac Suite on Fontana if you don't already have it!

[Teasing the Korean]

Freddie Hubbard - Hubtones - Blue Note (stereo, 70s issue, played back in mono to improve the mix).

[Teasing the Korean]

Stan Kenton/Johnny Richards - Cuban Fire - Capitol (turquoise mono)

Sound on the original vinyl is dramatically more present than that on the CD reissue.

Thanks for the suggestion! Actually, I don't have it, so I'll see if it shows up somewhere at a reasonable price.

Seconded - also 'Full Circle' on UK Fontana (but that one is quite hard to find). And 'Windmill Tilter' !
