Which Albert "Ice Man" Collins collection would you own? I tend to like upbeat and lots of improv in my blues. Harmonica and Hammond are nice additions as well. Thanks. :twofinger

maybe Live at Montreux 1992 (2008) for organ/horns ...?

not vinyl, and not what you're asking, but a fun dvd if you can find it:
Further On Down the Road: Lonnie Mack, Albert Collins & Roy Buchanan live at Carnegie Hall 1985 ...
