Best sounding LP's

I'm new to analog, and discovering that LP's, like CD's, are definitely not created equal in terms of sound quality. I've bought some used classical LP's, including a recent Deutche Gramaphone (sp?) recording that sounded really great and I realized how bad the others were after that.

Is there a web site that rates records for their recording quality? CD's also for that matter. If there's not one, somebody should start one. For me with classical, sound quality is paramount. How do you guys decide what to buy?

I've been collecting LPs for about 40 years and definitely find differences among them. It's not ALWAYS related to label, but in general I've found European labels to have a higher quiality. I'm particulary fond of Philips. On the other hand, two of my all-time favorite LPs are from an American company with a tiny catgalog - Reference Recordings. They make some of the best recordings on Earth.
