Get the 1984 OJC of Sunday at Village Vanguard if you can find it: Bill Evans Trio Featuring Scott La Faro – Sunday At The Village Vanguard (1984, Vinyl)
They usually pop up on Discogs or Ebay for about 40-50 bucks.

Bill Evans chat eh?!
This 80’s OJC pressing of Interplay is absolutely wonderful. Perhaps one of my best sounding records, and the music is fucking epic

These may not be as good (I don't have anything else to compare) but do sound fantastic, OJC issues pressed at RTI, I picked them up new about a year or so ago, they can be had real cheap.

It’s going for crazy prices considering this was the 2nd tier series.

The Bill Evans stuff on Resonance Records are all fantastic BUT most of them use amateur tapes as the source. So whilst the music is almost always fantastic, the audio quality isn't always top-notch. Best to go into them knowing they are historic amateur set-ups really. Saying that they really are great sets and the booklets alone are worth reading, before we enen discuss the superb sessions!

p.s. @Andy I know you are most likely aware of this, just thought it best to share with those that go into it thinking they are AAA-studio quality recordings.

I have most. I missed out on Ronnie Scotts as I had on pre-order from our friend in the north & it didn't come through. I also don't have the smile with your heart release.
Not Bill Evans, but an historic Resonance release where the sound is also fantastic, great set

Sadly. most MoFis are going for crazy prices (or crazy asking prices at least). It's been hard to find bargains for older OOP MoFis lately.

That Bunnymen record is going for silly money now. Even the English Beat "Special Beat Service" goes for too much, though I would like to get my hands on it.

I didn't! Forgot about it too haha. Would be happy to trade still if ya want. Shoot me a PM!
Let’s do this thing!
my VMP copy of Pearl arrived, pressed at RTI, looks to have the same dead wax details as the RSD version. Assume they used the same metalwork

Awesome! Thanks so much for all these suggestions. The reason i wasn't specific about the title was that I know pretty much nothing about Bill Evans but he's one of my father's favorite Jazz artists and he's visiting me next month and I wanted to have a couple of good quality Evans albums on hand to play for him. I grabbed the OJC pressing of Village Vanguard which appears to have good reviews. I want Montreux as well so I'm going to see if I can find the AP of that one up here. Unfortunately can't order from MD due to shipping costs. The Pure Pleasure of Montreux seems to be OOS and I couldn't find an OJC either. So perhaps the AP 45... Cheers!

There’s also a black vinyl version that’s about half the price of the red.
I also have the silver label version of X and just saw how expensive that’s gotten. Woof.

Look for the Speakers Corner of Montreaux. It's solid.

Sorry, that's the one I meant, not Pure Pleasure. I love SC but it appears to be OOS pretty much everywhere I normally look. I ordered the AP 45 of it.
He will!
