An absolute must have:

Sonny Rollins - Way Out West

Also good:

Ella Fitzgerald - Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie

Anything by Miles Davis, John Coltrane or Sonny Rollins.

To be avoided: Jazz At The Pawnshop (sorry but I just couldn't resist )

Thanks for the recs, jazzfan. My fave Rollins album is Plus 4, which is probably my next purchase, along with Coltrane/Monk. Both of them are available on Analogue Productions 45 rpms. I also need to get some good copies of Coleman Hawkins records & that Music Matters reissue of Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" when it comes out... there's a street seller near Columbia who's been trying to hawk the complete Art Tatum Solo Masterpieces on Pablo. I'd put the records at VG, at best, but he wants $100 for it! These guys are getting really bold...

Does anyone know the best way to get "5 by Monk by 5" on LP? That's the one I want the most right now, but haven't run into a copy. Just scavenge & pray?

Eric Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" is a classic. I have a copy of it on vinyl but I doubt that it is an original issue since I bought it sometime in the 1970's and it was originally released in the early 1960s. By the way, the song "Out to Lunch" has been and still is the "theme" for WKCR-FM's afternoon jazz show called, oddly enough, "Out to Lunch".

SD, I was listening to the 45 of Take Love Easy, Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass only this afternoon and it is just wonderful. I have to admit though having to get up after every other song is a pita; I am only going to get my very favourite discs on 45. I am in the very fortunate position of standing to inherit a very sizable collection from my father. He has already given me some of the originals, meticulously taken care of, and the best sound fabulous.

By the way, I'm still trying to track down the AP 45 reissue of Saxophone Colossus per my earlier post. If you ever see it please pounce. I am prepared to pay

Struts, I'll keep my eyes peeled for you. I'm sure I'd get greedy if I see the 45 of Colossus, but I think I'm happy with just my CD of that record. But whenever I drop by record stores, I'll look around... if you have some records from your father's collection you don't mind parting w/, let me know, too!
