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.
