    It's one of mine, too. It also seems to be a popular favourite.

    Good to have this in an easy to see and read graph. I asked this question in the original thread as I’ll probably end up only getting 8-10 of these that I find essential, but was curious if others were particularly good or perhaps even definitive.

    There's also a link in my first post here to the original poll of releases, if that helps with your decision-making.

    Of the ones in the poll, I have 5, but I picked up earlier ones as well. In the top for me are:
    Alligator Boogaloo
    Into Somethin'
    Una Mas

    and a special mention for
    Blacks and Blues
    I really love the atmosphere on this record, it really brings me back to that time and place.

    I have Basra and Ethiopian Nights coming.
