Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of...

Can't say no one else has heard of this band...but I do enjoy my original LP of the Greg Kihn Band "Kihntinued".

Hi - Thanks for the responses so far. Here's a few I recall right off the bat. I'll also try to stick to titles that can actually be found with a little searching. Here's a few to start:

Harold Gomberg w/ Seiji Ozawa - "The Baroque Oboe" - Even if you don't like Baroque or Oboe and hate Ozawa this is a must have! Columbia (2 eye I believe).

Liv Glaser (Pianist) - Grieg: 15 Favorite Lyric Pieces, Victrola vics 1465 (I think). Beautiful playing, wonderful compositions and excellent recording - though not a "WoW factor" type of audio.

Joe Sample and David T. Walker - "Swing Street Cafe" 1981 MCA/Crusaders records. Fun music, powerful sonics.

Ry Cooder - "JAZZ" Warner Bros. 1978 Also fun music, great recording - imaging is superb. Link here:

I'll post more as I think of them.

A couple that immediately come to my mind are....

Peter Case- "Man w/the Blue postmodern fragmented neo-traditionalist Guitar", produced by David Hidalgo (great record if you can find it).

Leon Redbone- "Champagne Charley and Doubletime"

Gregg Brown- "One more goodnight Kiss and Slant six heart"

Taj Mahal- "Recycling the blues"

John Hartford- "Aeroplane"

BTW, the new Wilco "Sky blue sky" (LP) sounds absolutely wonderful....

I like The Blue Nile", I have "walk across the rooftops" and there are a couple more I want to get, a friend tells me everything they put out sounds fantastic.

Here's a lesser known album from Bobby Jones. It is entitled Hill Country Suite. Recorded in 1974 on the enja label this album includes Bobby Jones on clarinet and tenorsax, George Mraz on bass, and Freddie Waits on drums. I find it to be very accesible jazz and extremely well recorded.
