Best Record You Have Ever heard


Thought I would start this thread for all you vinyl lovers out there.

The rules are simple:
1. Only post one album, the absolute best you have heard.
2. It must be something you have heard on VINYL.
3. Both the recording AND musical content must be impeccable
and I do mean BOTH!
4. Try to be as specific as possible i.e/ version, year, re-issue, original, 45RM,direct to disc, half speed mastered etc...

Here is mine.

Artist: John Frusciante
Album: Curtains
Release: Record COllection
Date: 2005
Recording: It was done in his living room, fully acoustic album. Mastered by Bernie Grundman Hollywood CA.

RE: 11-07-11: Viridian, you Know your stuff. What are you using for tape playback? I have been thinking about taking the plunge and signing on with tape project...once I have a budget for it.

Bernie Grundman is serious. Look for the BG on the record and chances are that you will not be dissapointed. This is a little off topic, but check out the video tour of Bernie below. There is also a discussion with a mastering engineer.
