Best Sounding LPs


Well, after years of chasing a truly satisfying digital sound to little avail, I've finally taken the vinyl plunge. Boy, is it great! It's like listening to music for the first time again.

I have found, however, that LP quality varies widely and unpredictably. When they're good they're magical. When they're bad you might as well be listening to crummy redbook.

Can anyone recommend great sounding lps to search for? I listen to everything, especially rock, jazz, folk, county, acoustic music, plus symphonic and chamber music.

Recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Man-oh-man, don't know how I missed this thread. My mouth is watering...
About all I can add to the fabulous responses above:

Any jazz on Japanese label Three Blind Mice
Another Canadian Holly Cole LP - Romantically Hopeless, this one includes a bonus 12" 45rpm w/amazing cover of Paul Simon's "One Trick Pony"
Louis Armstrong - Satchmo Plays King Oliver reissue (45rpm or 200g CLassic Records)
Best cheap domestic folk/rock beachy,happy hour music: Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales
