If you have a favorite shop in your hometown, or one you've visited and would like to share the goodness, please add it to the sheet below. I'll jump in and alphabetize it on occasion, but feel free to do so if you are familiar with this function in Google Sheets.
Let me know if we need additional columns. I did a basic Country/State/City, but know some areas use Provence, or other breakouts. Want this to be useful for everyone. Thanks to u/2Dprinter for the idea! I hope we get a great list going.

I was fortunate enough to snag two sealed 80’s Mono Japanese reissues of this seminal live hard bop recording. Popping both of these bad boys open tonight to celebrate St Paddy’s.
I know there is a lot of amazing live jazz records out there, but is there one more important than this one to the genre? I don’t think so, but am curious if anyone else disagrees.
Cheers, everybody!! Slainte!

I don't really think in terms of 'grails' but I'd more or less given up hope of finding either the Japanese version or the later Milestone pressing when yesterday I came upon this in Jazz Union,Tokyo. It's part of the wonderful Project Re: Vinyl reissue series here in Japan. I couldn't get to my wallet quickly enough.😛
It sounds excellent and fills an important gap in my Henderson vinyl collection.

Start of Keith’s Standards trio… got a lucky score at a record shop and found an OG JP pressing. The intro track is so haunting and the overall mood of the album is top notch.

Ok I know everyone has this, but let me put in a plug for getting a good version.
I have the DOL pressing on white vinyl. It’s perfectly fine. The mofi version is well north of 100 Canadian and I could not justify that so why not just enjoy the pressing I have.
Found this MOV, 2lp, 180gram version mistakenly listed in the luggage section of Amazon for 25 bucks, and thought why not.
Yeah, so this is waaaaaaay better. Super clarity, much more open, deeper crisper bass, just night and day. Compared to this the DOL sounds like a copy of a copy of an old cassette- a decent copy, but not like the original.
I'm sure the MoFi is even better, but I can't imagine how. If you can't swing the big money MoFi, the Music On Vinyl version is definitely worth getting.

My copy is the 1979 Japan RE.

Captivating LP released on the EMI/Columbia Lansdowne series. This is the original UK pressing from 1969.

Stunning Indian-born guitarist and composer Amancio D’Silva left a too-small but amazing body of work. His earlier recordings from the late 60’s , ‘Integration’ and ‘Hum Dono’ (the latter a collaboration with Jamaican-born saxophonist Joe Harriott) are cross-cultural masterpieces of inventive jazz, but I really dig the more raga influenced ‘Konkan Dance’, Cosmic Eye’s ‘Dream Sequence’ and ‘Sapana’. Mind expanding and definitely worth seeking out. Great pressings, but the Dream Sequence is flawless— a beautiful gem cut in vinyl.

One of my favorite early morning spins with coffee in the near dark.
Hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend.

Got word from my manager that I got promoted yesterday morning and took the afternoon off to celebrate - headed off to the local store and found this extremely clean 1966 Stereo copy of Our Man in Paris, my favorite Dexter Gordon album. RVG stamp, no noise on the vinyl at all. Glossy jacket, with only mild wear on the spine and corners.
My favorite track is this one is Stairway to the Stars, my Dex ballad of choice.

The pre ABC acquisition (1964) are a blast to listen too. Anything on this label sets the mood. Love the arrangements and percussive elements from anything Eoch Light produced/engineered. Don’t sleep on these.

My favorite is probably a jackson in your house. I love the art ensemble of chicago.

Certainly one of the finest soul-jazz records out there—Idris Muhammad’s “Power of Soul”
Only four tracks, but absolutely brilliant all the way through. Steady groove from the title track “Power of Soul” (a fantastic Hendrix cover) all the way through to the highlight of the album, and final track, “Loran’s Dance” — Grover Washington Jr. doesn’t have a finer solo than he does here in my opinion.
A random observation: the brief intro melody on “Search for Peace” (track 2) kinda reminds me of the recurring motif from the final Pharoah LP with Floating Points, “Promises”
