Com'on...confess..........

I have an extremely rare one made by the Mel Lyman cult called American Avatar. Only 10,000 were pressed, and one of the Lyman followers who withdrew from the group paid for all the production costs. He was Jim Kweskin of Jug Band fame. Kweskin was embarrassed by his association, and of the album itself, to the point that he bought up all copies of it. Well, he missed at least one copy, and I have it.

I have never seen another copy for sale anywhere, at any price. By the way, the cult is still around, and the Lyman story is worth Googling sometime when you get bored. It is quite a read.

Vangelis 1492 soundtrack
Mike Oldfield Songs of Distant Earth
Quad ST (on clear vinyl 500 press)
Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack (you might still be able to get this- it was recently issued on 180 gram vinyl and is the Vangelis material, not the orchestral crap)
Yes Close to the Edge (original British edition maybe this one does not count as the American is as common as an old shoe; the British is a lot better...)
Goblin Suspiria Italian press

I have about eight or so classical LP's from the late 1970's and early 1980's on the French label Astrée. Most of them are treasures musically, and simply incredible sonically. I mentioned one of them in the OP's recent "Favorite LP Of All Time" thread:

I have way too many classical favorites on LP to be able to single out just one. But I'll give it a shot anyway: Beethoven Sonatas Opus 53 ("Waldstein"), 78, and 90, Paul Badura-Skoda performing on an 1815 Hammerflügel, Astrée AS73.

Long since out of print on LP, unfortunately. I don't know if it is available on CD. As with most Astrée LPs the sound is incredible.

Also, quite a few direct-to-disc LP's from that same period, on labels such as Sheffield, RCA Japan, Sonic Arts, Crystal Clear, and M&K Realtime.

I'll mention one of them, "The Power and the Glory," volume 1, on M&K Realtime, featuring works by Bach, Vivaldi, Wagner, and Alexander Russell performed on three simultaneous organs totalling 11,848 pipes, including 32 footers. I've only played it once via speakers, however, because it caused windows to rattle throughout much of my house, and paint chips to fall from the ceiling :-)

Dave Brubeck ..... "Together Again For The First Time."
The best live version of "Take Five" ever recorded, and a rare LP indeed !
