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.

All three Tim Curry solo albums (the "Best Of" doesn't cut it).
And again, Buckingham-Nicks.
The early Dumptruck albums (as in "D is for Dumptruck").
Bernie Taupin "Tribe".
I'm sure I'm missing A LOT of others.

AFT (Automatic Fine Tuning)
Anthony Braxton-Five Pieces 1975
Contact Trio-New Marks
Egberto Gismonti-Fantasia
Brian Godding-Slaughter on Shaftsbury Ave.
Good God-Good God
Ryo Kawasaki-Natures Revenge
Volker Kriegel- most of his mid 70's stuff (hard to pick just 1)
L.s. Bearforce-L.S. Bearforce
Dave Pike-Salomao (w/ Eberhard Weber,Volker Kriegel...)

I quit the analog uber alles dogma a couple of years ago, but would expect that any cd releases of the above will not sound as good as a quality vinyl pressing, (Unfortunately no such thing was ever in the racks for some of these).

The Clown is available in a very nicely done budget-priced edition.

I've found that everytime I track down an lp that I'd been seeking at a not insane price for years, it comes out on CD within a few months. And usually low-priced and well remastered, to add insult to injury.
