Lynyrd Skynrd - Street Survivors.  Play grading this one as I thought it would go to the bin since I have the MFSL, but this sounds surprisingly good.  It's a repress with the modified cover.
I have the Universal reissue from 20 ? years ago and it sounds great! Has the flame cover. This may be one of those recordings that will always sound good.
Well Jim, I found a German 1977 pressing with the original cover on Discogs described as NM for a reasonable price, will compare it to the others.  Funny, I paid $25 new for the MOFI just 3 years ago, now they are listed on Discogs for over $100. 
Teddy Wilson And His Trio – Mr. Wilson And Mr. Gershwin (Columbia 1959 mono)
Well, still have the mono cart on the SOTA, so going to spin some of my mono vinyl this evening. It’s been a while.

This album I have I listened to once. I think it’s a fairly common feeling that not all great conductors are necessarily great composers. And, I wasn’t impressed the first time I listened to this, but, decided to try it again.

Wilhelm Furtwängler conducts Furtwängler - Symphony #2. Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Originally recorded in 1951. Deutsche Grammophon 2LP set, unknown release date. Mono.
