Steely Dan - AJA
Bud Powell and friends - Live at Massey Hall
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
Stan Getz - Getz and Gilberto
Hubert Laws - Family (way underappreciated)
Chuck Mangeon - Children of Sanchez
These are all LPs that I own and listen to from beginning to end. Have never purchased the CDs because I can't imagine selecting tracks. The Getz and Gilberto was my mom's and the original Verve pressing is so creamy (sorry, really the best word I could come up with) I can only imagine getting closer to the master would be unbelievable. Live at Massey is just a historical once in a lifetime concert. Bud Powell, Charles Mingus, Charlie Parker (billed as Charlie Chan) Max Roach and Dizzy Gilespy. Booked in Canada the same night as the Joe Lewis fight, so they played to an almost empty house. Parker is on a borrowed plastic alto and the recording was done by Mingus to study and practice to later. Who knew? It WAILS!! The Laws piece is really good (read - not cheesy) 80s jazz flute work. The evolutionary version of Ravel's Bolero is worth the price of admission. Excellent work from Chick Corea. Let me know what you think.

Man if any Pink Floyd albums were licensed to TTP, I'd be on it like flies on sh*t. I have not yet subscribed, because my deck is NAB EQ only, and I'm not a jazz/classical fan. I'd love to see some classic rock titles, but I doubt most of the major labels will license their back catalogs that they reissue 200 times a year with new artwork, mini-lp sleeves, re-re-re-remasters.
Titles I'd love to see TTP offer:
Pink Floyd: the entire catalog
Led Zeppelin: the entire catalog
Beatles: the entire catalog
CCR: the entire catalog

OK, I'm going to pile on here, and third these! Any or all would be truly awesome.
