 As part of my ongoing vinyl replacement project I need to buy some Hank Mobley SACDs. Truth be told it is so long since I've spun my LPs that my memory has faded. I know "No Room For Squares" is my favourite, and I tend to like his later sound. Any suggestions?

 If you do a search on Amazon, there's a surprisingly-surprising to me anyway-long list of Mobley SACDs...if you're willing to pay the freight. I don't have any of them in this format, so I can't make a recommendation. Frankly, I'm not a huge fan and a lot of his stuff sounds the same to me.

 Many of them are in stock at a local shop at a very attractive price. I'm not a huge fan of bop any more - even the best of it sounds like improvisation without imagination to me - which is likely why my memory of his other albums I have on LP is so vague. "No Room For Squares" on the other hand is something of a late bop masterpiece, not unlike Oliver Nelson's "The Blues and the Abstract Truth". Again, to my ears. But maybe someone who is a fan can recommend one or two others to go with it?

 Soul Station is among his greatest hits.
