Help me find this Blue Note compilation?

In the late 80s I bought a 2 disc vinyl Blue Note compilation. I nearly played a hole thru it. It was mostly bebop classics. I can't find it anywhere, on CD or vinyl. Problem is, I only remember 3 of the tracks on it...

Moanin' - Art Blakey
Autum Leaves - Cannonball Adderley
Maiden Voyage - Herbie Hancock

I also *think* there might have been a version of Harlem River Drive on it, but I'm not sure.

I would know the cover, and maybe the name, if I saw it.

Anyone?

Thanks!

Thanks. Close but no cigar. The album I'm after was released well before US3 Cantaloop and definitely contained Maiden Voyage. I'm not neccessarily looking to buy the album/CD, just looking for the track list.

I've found comps from the late 80's that had 2 out of 3 tracks. Are you sure it didn't have Mosaic instead of Moanin' by Blakey?

I'm pretty sure it was Moanin' because I just started playing GTA IV on Xbox360, which has a jazz radio station built into the game (among others), and Moanin' is on the playlist. When I heard it in the game, I was immediately taken back to the days when I had the vinyl Bluenote comp...hadn't heard Moanin' since then.
