Gregory, I have to admit I've never heard the Blue Lights volumes in any format. Up until the last year, I disdained any sort of electricity in jazz for the 25 years I've been listening and, other than Midnight Blue and some sessions with a minor guitar presence, I'd avoided the instrument entirely. Now, in large part because of the sound of Burrell on the Music Matters reissues, I'm hearing it and digging it. On your recommendation I'll look to pick up those records.

My five in catalogue order:
Kenny Dorham - Afro-Cuban BLP 1535 (so I get the extra tracks not on the 10" release)
Lou Donaldson - Wailing With Lou BLP 1545
Hank Mobley - Hank BLP 1560
Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin' BLP 1588
Horace Silver - Song For My Father BLP 4185
Very difficult to narrow it down to these five! And very difficult not to include Shades of Redd, Soul Station, Flight to Jordan, Blue Train, Somethin' Else, Blue Lights Vol. 1, True Blue, Mode For Joe, Basra, Newk's Time, Workout, Candy, Search For The New Land...sooooo many great sessions!

Initial scenario was to mention vinyl releases only . That is why both MONEY JUNGLE and TIME LINES turn out to be beyond the scope. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the TIME LINES album by Andrew Hill was never released on vinyl. I have a copy of money jungle on blue note vinyl. Until reading posts on ljc I did not know it was a united artist issue originally

I was thinking which period of Blue Note I like best, and there are times I think if I could only have one period of Blue Note it would be the New York label period over everything that came before that. There was so much good music being released by Blue Note later in the labels existence as is evidence of folks choosing records like "Out to Lunch," "Evolution" and "Point of Departure" to name a few.

i love the 1500 hard bop stuff like we all do, but i tend to think the early to mid 4000 series is my favorite. so much experimenting, and GOOD experimenting at that!

Jazzhead is right the cover says 1986. It is a DMM Manhattan label. I had a CD of it in the 90's but it went missing and I found this one for $6 if the price sticker is correct.

Yes, those records are all great, though I am not sure that were I stranded on a desert island I'd want to listen to too many avant-garde records, even if that music has formed the bedrock of my listening. Funny thing, that.
