Help me select few vinyl LPs

@dogberry   I cannot ask him (it's surprise) and we see each other maybe once a year (he is in Europe), but as far as I remember he is not into progressive Jazz or Heavy Metal Rock.  Kind of Blue would be safe choice, but he likely has it.

@danmar123 Thank you.  I will check Amazon first - quick delivery is a must (I'm leaving in 9 days)

@drrsutliff I found so far in Tone Poet series "Here it is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen" - seems like safe choice.

@ghdprentice  Amazon (quick delivery) sells also 180g Kind of Blue but not a Mono recording.  Perhaps not the same sound quality, but fast delivery.  I got "Out of Cool"  on Amazon remastered 180g.  Also got Time Out/Time Further Out 180g.

In addition I got Ike Quebec "Heavy Soul" (180g) and  "Tales of Time" Bonamassy (3 LP, weight unknown) and Nina Simone "The Hits" (180g)

As for "sophistication and thoughtfulness" - nobody would ever suspect me of that.

I'm grateful for suggestions and am placing order now, but any further tips will be good for next year trip.  I assume that 180g vinyl is better than plain one (whatever weight it is).
 

Thank you everybody for help.  So far I got

1. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (180g)
2. Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out / Time Further Out (180g)
3. Gil Evans - Out of Cool (180g)
4. Ike Quebec - Heavy Soul (180g)
5. Here It Is - Tribute to Leonard Cohen (180g)
6. Nina Simone - The Hits (180g)
7. Joe Bonamassa - Tales of Time (weight unknown)
8. Black Pumas - Black Pumas (Delux Edition, weight unknown)

This should be enough for him to start.  Well known records, like Kind of Blue, can be easily exchanged with others.  My choices were limited by delivery date (have to have it this month) and often price.  One of LPs was $250.
Some, like Nina Simone, are "remastered".  

I wonder why many of available LPs, like Time Out, are imports - not very common with CDs.  As for sound quality, Jazz records used to be of good quality while Rock was catching up. Today technology is there, but some artists chose no to care.  Bonamassa concert recording Tales Of Time sound quality is very good, at least CD version, while Rolling Stones Grrrrr is horrible.  Jagger's voice is too loud and drums are soft and muffled.
