Best pressings of classic rock/pop recordings

I'd like to get others' takes on the best-sounding available versions of classic popular recordings. For example, I've been happy with the following recent releases: Dylan hybrid CD/SACDs; Stones 1960's hybrids; John Lennon Imagine on 180gm vinyl (MFSL); Elton JOhn, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road hybrid.

But the recently remastered Carole King tapestry clearly suffers from master tape degradation. Not sure how to get a good recording of that.

Here are some of the others I'm wondering about. Many have been reissued several times:

Jethro Tull -- Aqualung
Dusty Springfield -- Dusty in Memphis
Aretha Franklin -- I never loved a man . . .
The Band -- everything
Allman bros -- Eat a Peach; Brother's and Sisters, etc.
Santana -- Abraxas

And when the heck will the Beatles be reissued?

I know some would say that any old LP beats the CD versions, but I disagree. Many LP pressings were made very poorly (like maybe off a 3rd generation tape) and to my ears don't sound nearly as good as some recent CD releases made off well-preserved master tapes.

Thanks for any thoughts.
