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!

The best sounding jazz-pop lp, which I use as a reference, is Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly." I have the Quiex-2 version. Terrific.

Jazz - Coltrane's Blue Train on 45rpm.
You mentioned folk and country . Jazz and classical seemed to be pretty well covered here so I will list some great folk, bluegrass, rock recordings. All of which can be found new.
In folk:
Greg Browns "Poet Game"
Doc Watsons "Southbound"
Alison Krause and Union Station
Joan Baez's "Angeline", "Diamonds and Rust"
The Weavers "Live at Carnegie Hall, 1963"
Harry Belefonte "Live at Carnegie Hall"
In Blues:
Muddy Waters "Folk Singer"
The Anne Arbor Folk and Blues Festival
Doug McLeod "Hard to Find" (this one you will have to get used)
