Favorite poorly-recorded albums

I'm listening to Candy Apple Grey by Husker Du right now. Great album; sounds like it was recorded at the bottom of a well. Pretty typical for Husker Du. I read somewhere that it was intentional.

Do you have albums that you keep coming back to despite poor recording quality?

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame ( pretty bad )
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire ( even worse )
Yngwie Malmsteen with Japan Philharmonic ( terrible )

The other two are:
Dead Can Dance - Spleen and Ideal ( pretty bad )
John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucia/Al di Meola - Passion, Grace&Fire. Acoustic guitar masterpiece but that digital recording of 1981 sucks big time. What a shame.

Still, Inner Mounting Flame is very listenable on Japanese and even British original vinyl. I must also say that MFSL did a great job with the CD edition.
