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?

Without parallel, in my estimation, the truly superlative Wally Badarou recording, "Chief Inspector." Stunning stuff, far outpaced even his considerable lesser efforts. I had it in both LP and cassette formats, and a couple of his subsequent recordings on CD. I've looked forever for a CD version of "Chief Inspector," but no luck. Afro-Caribbean with significant jazz threads

MY GREATEST FIND Well about six months ago I was in a used cd shop and decided to finally purchas the scheffield track record. I had seen this around before but it was either to expensive or their was somthing better. At the time I knew it would be a cool recording but did not know what was on it. Sure enough I get it home throw it on and SHURE ENOUGH it was " the Album " I had search for all those years.

I've been looking for Vivante's version of Muddy Waters' "Folk Singer" album on vinyl. I've seen lots of MoFi's and Classic pressings for sale, as well as the original Chess and Pye from England. Vivante's version is on 180 gram vinyl and may not be as pleasingly mastered as either the MoFi or the Classic. However, I have bought every other LP that Vivante brought to the U.S., and this would complete my collection. (They went dark a few years ago.)
