I've got most of these Sheffield lab lps, but not these last two. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever seen them before. You have a really nice collection there! The Thelma Houston lp was the first really audiophile quality lp that I owned.

Thank You !
I checked it:
Lab 18 and Lab 22 were in Harry Pearson's Super Disc List in TAS issue 33, April 1984.
There was a special category: The Super Sound Discs: Direct-to-Disc (see pic):

... so both records were a "must have" ...

... over 30 years ago.

FINALLY Available on vinyl (as an import). I can't stop singing this to myself, and I have no idea what they
are saying or even the language. An ALL TIME FAVORITE ALBUM!!!!!

Thanks for the nudge !

1964 Blue Note

Donald Byrd - trumpet
Sonny Red - alto
Hank Mobley - tenor
McCoy Tyner - piano
Walter Booker - bass
Freddie Waits - drums

Another straight up Blue Note, this time with McCoy. He and Sonny Red sound great on this album.
