American Percussion Society, Paul Price Breaking The Sound Barrier Vol.1 Percussion Urania USD 1007 LP  (not the later pressing)

The Ramsey Lewis Trio – Down To Earth (Music From The Soil)  Verve Records 314 538 329-2   CD  (not any of the original stampers)  Bonus cut 14 is mono and fantastic

 

I have 28500 LPs and 7000 CDs to choose from for sonics.  Many are outstanding.  Most are not.   Recording, mastering and pressing is generally the stumbling block for LPs, just mastering for CDs.   So many outstanding CDs (jazz and classical) to choose from.   Maybe 2,500 LPs as great (jazz tends to be the best, rock the worst).
