I've got that one, and my prize possession is this one:

8 lps of amazing live recordings--not flawless by any means, but great pressings, and very simple (and effective) mic'ing and mixing.

Here's Fremer's review of the set...

Wow!! Great reveiw. Sounds like you got a real gem. Those box sets can be pretty awesome. I understand his wife is sitting on a huge amount of live material that she hasn't released yet. How do you like this one?:

Good stuff playing up there.

Starchild . . . those JB albums look amazing, never heard of them before.

If you're a down and dirty JB fan, this one is a gas a Xmas time:

Sorry for violating the rules. This is not a jazz album but its damned relaxing and easy to listen to after a long hard day:

If you have some silver whiskers, this one brings back the memories. A very interesting concept that, in my opinion, worked very well:

Nina Simone
Nina Simone and the Piano

This is the Speakers Corner reissue, and the recording/pressing is brilliant. The first track is a grabber. Others, however, are pretty raw and can be tough to listen to.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
Keystone 3

Quite a collection of talent on this double album including Branford and Wynton Marsalis, and my first red vinyl LP. Great pressing and recording of some full-on jazz.
