What is the one CD you can't find?

Years ago I had listened to an audiophile test album with a white cover and little credits to go on the back side. I fell in love with it immediatly. The owner of the album was kind enough to make me a tape but would not part with it at any price. Later I discovered that members of the band Steps Ahead played on it, and even released one of the tunes on their cd. I have searched for years to find it on either cd or vynal yet have never come across it.This would be my greatest find. Just wondering how many others have a similar situation.And what is the one cd you just can't get?

Up until a year or two ago, it was Steve Winwood and Stomu Yomashta's GO and GO TWO. They were released back in the 70's and I just loved them back then. They finally were re-released, along with a live version, in a 2-CD set. It's got Stevie singing, and Al DiMeola on the guitar. Just a great set of music - very atmospheric.

Philip Catherine "Nairam". I have the vinyl which I purchase in 1975 or 76. I don't believe it's ever been released on CD. It's even hard to find a good copy on vinyl. It's a very unique and fabulous album, even for Catherine.

The one CD I can't find is Katie Melua "Piece by Piece". I bought it and loaded it into my music server. Then, because all of my storage racks are full, I put it some place safe until I added more storage. I forgot where.

That was months ago. I have looked everywhere and still can't find that CD. Now where did that girl go? -:)

Without parallel, in my estimation, the truly superlative Wally Badarou recording, "Chief Inspector." Stunning stuff, far outpaced even his considerable lesser efforts. I had it in both LP and cassette formats, and a couple of his subsequent recordings on CD. I've looked forever for a CD version of "Chief Inspector," but no luck.
