While many if not most of the LPs suggested hit the OPs request I worry that thread such as this miss the real value of LP reproduction -- the ability to dig into over 60 years of history at frankly minimal cost and to uncover discs you had never heard of -- instead of relentlessly poring over the same old warhorses
For example where I live in Portland OR there are two great sources of new finds -- for re-relesases I browse the bins at Floating World comics and unearth such gems as
https://www.discogs.com/Michael-Raven-2-Joan-Mills-Death-And-The-Lady/release/11872005 - the original is super pricey unobtainium
A few miles North in St Johns there’s Vinyl Resting Place with a great selection of the folk I like -- on a recent visit for $80 I got 15 records including such tough (but rewarding) listens as
https://www.discogs.com/Alan-Stivell-E-Langonned/release/2529857
And odd balls like this, which is a Jethro Tull album in all but name
https://www.discogs.com/Maddy-Prior-Woman-In-The-Wings/release/2065646
My point is not to select these discs as anything special (although they each present real music in an honest fashion) but to encourage the OP to visit his local record store and pick out things that look fun or interesting and give them a try -- if you find something you like you can then start the search for the best pressing if that’s what you’re after but a good system should find the positives in any recording, not just the ones that have the TAS Super List imprimatur
ps If you want other suggestions here’s my collection (and yes it does include lots of certified Audiofool approved reissues!)
