For Jazz
Mosiac Records
Music Matters
Heavenly Sweetness 

Stockfisch Records has some great artists and recordings

The Sound Liaison label is one of the best sounding younger labels.
Very impressive sound quality, reminds me a bit of reference records in but maybe with an even better sense of placement.
 Highly recommended.

You may find that The original Janus Lable , Japan/OBI pressings to be of high quality. I don't have any, so I have no evaluation of there sound, but If interested, you would probably be able to find some info on the net.

I was looking at Discogs, and found that there are a hundred different versions of Year of the Cat
https://www.discogs.com/Al-Stewart-Year-Of-The-Cat/master/90235

Also there is a Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs pressing of Year of the Cat (out of print)

fone does great classical recordings as well

Alia Vox for early music (Jordi Savall's label), and a big second thumbs up for ECM.

Yes, Rhino is generally very good.

I've also been pleasantly surprised with overall quality of various classical vinyl titles I have encountered on the Musical Heritage Society label.

Wow, thanks for all the responses everyone!
I'll throw another label into the mix as well. I purchased a Rhino Records version of Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat" on the recommendation of a friend (as it's one of my top 20 rock albums) and it completely blew away my Arista version.

Thanks again.

Nobody mentioned MA recordings.

In addition to MoFi's list I would add:
The 180g Warner Bros
Cisco Music (but i think are done)
Naim
and the new Rhino label

Add Harmonia Mundi and Bis to the list. I'm assuming that you're not going back to the early days of stereo (RCA Living Stereo, Mercury, Lyrita, etc.).

I second anything by ECM. Consitently top-notch recordings. Mapleshade,Chesky and some Telac as well!

Reference Recordings in my opinion are some of the finest.

I have extensive experience with Telarc, Mapleshade, Sheffield Labs, Chesky, DMP, Audioquest XRCD, etc.

Mapleshade is sort of an organic type of sound.

Chesky Ultimate Test and Demonstration CD is a great tool to evaluate your system and develop good listening skills.

Telarc, DMP, Reference Recordings are all incredible!

If a particular recording is available in XRCD or XRCD II sometimes it is a huge step forward, sometimes not. For example, Dire Straits Brothers in Arms is WAY better on XRCD II while Eagles Hell Freezes Over is only slightly better and maybe not worth the $40 on XRCD II version.

(just to be forthcoming I am a dealer for Chesky and Reference Recordings)

ECM recordings are always of the highest quality (http://www.ecmrecords.com/Startseite/startseite.php). Naim also has its own label with very good recording quality (http://www.naimlabel.com/)

Dorian is another

I have very good recordings from Linn, Hyperion, Sheffield Labs, Telarc.

For Pure Pleasure, might want to add Music after it as a google search for Pure Pleasure bring up something completely different.
