What is the one CD you can't find?

Years ago I had listened to an audiophile test album with a white cover and little credits to go on the back side. I fell in love with it immediatly. The owner of the album was kind enough to make me a tape but would not part with it at any price. Later I discovered that members of the band Steps Ahead played on it, and even released one of the tunes on their cd. I have searched for years to find it on either cd or vynal yet have never come across it.This would be my greatest find. Just wondering how many others have a similar situation.And what is the one cd you just can't get?

I am in search of the original Johnny Cash Man in Black cd. It was recorded upon his return from Vietnam in the early seventies. It has billy Graham on it as well. This was a master piece album to me and although I have found hacked up vinyl versions I have not found it on CD. Any one know or have this one???

In the early 80's (if memory serves me) Ry Cooder came to London to gig, and performed a half hour or so set on the as was 'Old Grey Whistle Test' program by the Beeb. On it he did a version of 'How can a poor man stand such times and live'. It a version without the accordion and lasts 7 minutes or so. Brilliant. If only I could get a copy.

"Pearls Before Swine" CDs were tough to come by but finally found some reissues from Italy.
Then there was a very limited 24K issue of "Nightfly" that I would like to hear but have never been able to find.

"Interpretenportrait - Roland Proell", label Polyhymnia or Polyphonia or something like that, released in the late 1980s/ early 1990s. It contains Schumann's C major piano fantasy and the most convincing recording of Ravel's "Miroirs" among the twenty-odd I have tried. Must be extremely rare.
