Oldest Recordings that sound “audiophile”

Wondering what older recordings people have heard recently that they think to be “audiophile” worthy?

For example I just listened to “You Keep Coming Back Like a Song” by Dinah Shore from 1946 and it sounded like Dinah was in the room with me.

Probably remastered but so what, that counts!

When was the first “audiophile” worthy recording made, I wonder? How far back can it be?

Jo Stafford/Art Van Damme Quintet-Once Over Lightly.
Columbia CL 968 Mono 6 Eye 1957.
Found a mint copy(jacket and vinyl) at a thrift store for 49 cents.

Is not comparable to most audiophile recordings, Recorded in mono it does have that beaming effect but the sound is very natural.
