Okay, #1, if I could play only one:

Jennifer Warnes, Born in Time, so far as I know only available on the 45RPM Limited Edition 3LP boxed set https://elusivedisc.com/jennifer-warnes-the-well-numbered-limited-edition-45rpm-180g-3lp-box-set/

Luxuriously deep and 3D, with superb bass, impeccable recording and of course Jennifer Warnes fabulous voice, this one has it all. When I played it for Keith and Deborah they were like Who is that? We are getting the Moabs. And afterwards, What was that last one you played again???!

Most direct to disc recording are excellent sounding and but the performance in your room.

When friends are here and ask to hear something played my go-to demo is Steely Dan’s Aja (side 1). They’ve heard those tunes many times but played on a good system they quickly realize there’s a lot more music there to hear and enjoy. They’re surprised it’s just an LP I bought in 1977 and have taken care of (played countless times), not a special high-end recording.

They always want to hear an LP. If they care to compare, I can play them the digital versions.

If they want more it’s on to Roxy Music’s Avalon or Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors or for something way different Jennifer Warnes’ famousblueraincoat or EL VY’s Return To The Moon.

Tho our stereos are amateur systems , my stereo if my reference for how live should sound . If I go to a live show which is often , I expect it to sound better or I am disappointed for paying big bucks for live music. 
yes our stereos should make the audio sound great but I have many
albums that stand out in the production sound and recording
