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.

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.
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.

I agree with JB I am sure I have many that never came out on disc but "Roll Over" by The New York Rock Ensemble is a very good album indeed and I have looked for on disc for years. It has a few gems including "Fields Of Joy" and everybody's favorite necrophilia song "Gravedigger" which I am listening to as I write. Cheers
Most of the Hampton Hawes catalog especially "Playin' In The Yard", beautiful electric piano on that one and I love that sound. Terry Reid's stuff like "The River" and "Seed Of Memory"which I don't think made it to disc.Marc Benno's LP "Ambush" I don't believe ever came out on disc either."Get Off In Chicago" an excellent obscure Harvey Mandel LP was never issued on disc as well.My LP of that one is still mint and the music does not sound at all dated to me. I could go on and on but............
