Needles & Grooves

For a "reasonable" price point? I think the DeAgostini Jazz at 33 1/3 series has been great for the price, but are a bit more $$ to find in the US. Haven't specifically heard the Blue Train but I have a handful of their other Blue Note albums and they sound really good to me for the price: John Coltrane - Blue Train

Stay away from the BN 75th series, and anything on DOL, Waxtime, or any of the other grey market labels. This is a tricky album to find a good pressing of since there are SO many pressings...and if you don't want used then it might be tricky to find one with proper analogue sources.

I wanted to get a copy for my niece for her upcoming birthday, and after going through all the listings extensively... I finally gave up and ordered a DOL pressing because it gets decent reviews even for effectively being a bootleg.

Thanks folks. After your responses, i feel justified that this was a legit question...lol
