Thanks @alan33 I missed out on Sidewinder which is now sold out on BN but I have a decent copy from the 80’s. As far as the Tone Poet series goes I’ve bought three so far but none of the other titles have excited me enough to pay full price but they are beautifully packaged and pressed.

Hi dear, what Di Tone Poet titles have you bought? As a layman and inexperienced I preferred to buy Oblique, Mr. Shing a Ling, Combread, That’s where it’s at
I too bought Cornbread, Grant Green both of which I love and Cassandra Wilson not so much but it was only £15 on offer.
Nice Shot! I on amazon italia paid about € 32 each. Only combread on amazon France paid 22 € but I have yet to arrive! 
I also bought The Siderwinder but it’s yet to arrive …
Which other colour version did you plunge for? I can see Indie store white, HMV blue and McCartney store red, assuming the last copy is the standard black vinyl?
It seems the short run (333 copies) yellow and black Third Man Records variant is selling for thousands on ebay currently, and the Spotify Coke bottle light green seems to be in high demand as well, selling in the hundreds…
In the end I just went for Indie store white, although I could be tempted by the red vinyl as well!

Do you intend to break the seal on any of them?

Bill Callahan - Gold Record. Could be my favourite since Dream River. Nice pressing too but no poly lined inner…

The “East West” is the Speakers Corner reissue, it’ll be fun to compare to my other copies. The Coltrane’s are the Acoustic Sounds issues, beautiful gatefold sleeves and The Gweniffer Raymond is her latest, I’m going to" de shrink" these over Christmas!

Agreed. It really frustrates me when I receive LPs coming without poly lined inner sleeves. Easily resolved by inserting one of those in the paper sleeve, but still…

Just got my 3 LP ‘limited black vinyl’ copy (???), though I think disc 2 has some graphics on one side.
Sides 1/2 of LP one have awful superficial marks scratches either side (just like complaints on Amazon), so far playing pretty well though.

Stephen Stills Manassas. A lovely Christmas present. I’ve never had this album on any format, but after hearing a few tracks online, I thought it was definitely one I needed to add to my collection.
This is the 2010 repress, cut by Bernie Grundman and pressed at Pallas. Pleasingly, it comes with poly-lined inner sleeves.

Incredible album Neil. I bought the original vinyl when it was released and again on cd. There is so much going on that it improves with every listen. Musicianship is incredible. That’s some line up on the cover.
