This goes back a while, but I’m resurrecting bc I just bought this 1982 Japanese press of Bowie/Ziggy based on your recommendation, and my copy is amazing. Dead silent and, to my ears, sounds great. Fwiw, I paid $45 and bought from Ella Records, rated NM/M-, but no obi (I don’t care about that). Shipping was an additional $7.50 (avg price for 5 records).
 
Just landed a big new job and to celebrate I’m going to treat myself to some AP pressings. Thinking:

- Miles Davis UHQR
- Ella Fitzgerald - Like Someone in Love
- Duke Ellington + Johnny Hodges - Back to Back
- Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson
- JJ Cale - Troubador

Anyone else have some favorite jazz and blues pressings from AP that are essentials?

Congrats C!

The Ella arrangements are a bit too sleepy for me and I love Ella

Billie Holiday Songs for Distingue Lovers, All Or Nothing At All (both swing like mad!)
Mulligan Meets Webster (aver not bad either though)
Helen Merrill
Sarah Vaughn
Ellington Masterpieces
Tennessee Ernie Ford Country Hits (stunning)
Nat King Cole titles

I have that first Billie one and I agree, it’s absurdly fun to listen to and sounds GLORIOUS. These are all great recommendations!

Definitely the AP of We Get Requests, though I think that might be part of the Verve AS reissue series, Duke Ellington’s Masterpieces, Head Hunters. Wynton Kelly’s Smokin at the Blue Note is fantastic as well. Ike Quebec’s Blue and Sentimental is absolutely fantastic as well though oop. Actually all the Blue Notes I’ve gotten are fantastic but I think everything is oop now.
