Nice taste, Albert. I never really think about this, owning as I do (like you) a large majority of vinyl over CD's, but just glancing at your list, I think that The Yardbirds "OUSD" is now out on CD (with extras, I believe), though it may be an import. Pretty sure I saw it in a store, along with a vinyl version of same in a gatefold jacket. Overall though, if there's one main reason why I've bothered with investing in CD's and digital gear, it's been all the reissued or repackaged or previously unreleased archival material made available on the format which I never would be able to find or afford the original vinyl of. On balance, the forced format switchover has in the long run turned out to be a boon for music lovers and vinyl scroungers alike.
Your top 10 vinyl LPs that never made it to CD
One big reason I'm setting up a new tubes & vinyl system is that a significant number of my old LPs were never (to my knowledge) reissued on CD. It'll be a great joy to hear them again with (for the first time) reasonably good equipment. The top 10 in my collection (in no particular order) are:
David Lindley, "Mr. Dave"
Yusef Lateef, "Psychicemotus"
Holy Modal Rounders, "Alleged in Their Own Time"
Jan Hammer Group, "Oh Yeah"
Cannonball Adderly, "Phenix"
New York Rock and Roll Ensemble, "Roll Over"
Coleman Hawkins, "Jazz Kings Immortals"
Jean-Luc Ponty, "King Kong" ("Plays the Music of Frank Zappa")
King Curtis, "Live at Fillmore West"
Johnny Hodges/Wild Bill Davis, "Blue Rabbit"
If anyone out there has a list of their own, I'd enjoy reading it.
