On vinyl or CD? Any special recording?

CD of the box set borrowed from an aunt, following interest piqued by the Bob Porter book Soul Jazz.  It had never occurred to me to listen to them before now, because I’d heard mixed things, but these Jacquet sides at least are fantastic, and I’m going to burrow in a bit more. Any recommendations from the set would be appreciated.

I still remember when I first bought it as a 2-LP set from the BN LA-Series, in 1978. That first version of "Round Midnight" is really something, with that voicings from the horns and Monk playing the melody...., and that incredible stride section on "Thelonious".....

Currently listening to Tropos' Axioms // 75ab (Biophilia, 2020).

I am listening to it on Bandcamp, but is by a small label that apparently sells hard copy versions in the form of a download code wrapped in biodegradable origami packaging. An odd idea, that seems a little gimmicky to me, particularly given the rather meaty price.
