Inna gadda da Vida long version
Heavy by Iron Butterfly is my favorite recording by them,it was either my 2nd or 3rd album I bought. They just released it in  its original mono  mix on vinyl and it kills. 
Hunting for 1st pressings
A trick I use is if I see it is a record club pressing it is not a first pressing. If you see Crc,Rca or Bmg record club do not buy.

Are you talking about the 19 minute live version? Discogs has it on vinyl and Cd. I urge you to look for the Rhino 24 bit remaster on cd,it has both the studio version and the live version and the sound is quite good compared to the original recor...

"Breakfast In America"...a lost cause?
You might try the A&M Canadian Audiophile Series. I have BIA,EITQM and COTC In this vinyl format and they all sound excellent. They are 1/2 speed mastered from the original analog masters.

Jazz for late night relaxation
Around Midnight / Linda Ronstadt with the Nelson Riddle OrchestraThis Cd set is all three albums of her recordings with Nelson Riddle.
