The old Blue Note (#4157) from 61st street NYC, was bought used and is pretty noisy. My new copy, Blue Note (#46137) was pressed in 1997 by Capital Records and is dead quiet. Lee's earlier LP titled "Candy," is also excellent. It was also on Blue Note (BLP 1590 for the original) and (BST 81590 for the Capital re-release). Both of these are excellent, finding them on LP is possible and if CD is your goal, it should be no problem at all.

'Search for the New Land' is an AWESOME performance as well (in particular, the title track). I also enjoy his 'Live at the Lighthouse' recordings from the early '70's.
