Frank Zappa ‎– Zappa In New York (Discreet 1977)

One of my favorites. Super recording. (Uncensored version. Because censorship of music is pathetic.)
Erroll Garner ‎– Gems (Columbia 1954 mono)

I think this is my oldest record. It's a reissue of a 1951 10".
Benny Goodman ‎– On V-Disc, Volume 1 - 1941-45 (Sunbeam 1974)

This is surprisingly good and NM.
@dayglow Sound is good. Not great. Record is Good to VG+ depending on track. I don't mind because the music's great.
David Bromberg ‎– Demon In Disguise (Columbia 1972)

Great album. Sounds great. 
Johann Sebastian Bach ‎– Orgelwerke Bach-Orgel Der Schloßkirche In Lahm 1708-1744 (Telefunken 1975)

On the second rig with sub.
16 Horsepower ‎– Sackcloth 'N' Ashes (Music on Vinyl 2012 [CD 1995])

If you don't have this in your collection...
Sixteen Horsepower ‎– Low Estate (Music on Vinyl 2013 [CD 1997])

Another must-have album.
@slaw 
Second rig. Please explain.
See my Virtual System. I've another 401 with Spendors and a big sub for when I need more than the ESL rig can deliver.
XTC ‎– Oranges & Lemons
Oranges & Lemons (Virgin 1989)

The Beatles meet The Stranglers!
Joe Turner ‎– The Boss Of The Blues Sings Kansas City Jazz (Atlantic 1956)

Magic.

Various ‎– The Young Ones Of Jazz (EmArcy 1956)

More proof as to how they did a better job 60 years ago. Clean, detailed, with black backgrounds free of transistors.
Lotte Lenya ‎– September Song And Other American Theatre Songs Of Kurt Weill (Columbia Masterworks 1958 mono)

Marais And Miranda – Sundown Songs (Decca 1957)

Essential. Love it. It’s not Steely Dan. Eccentric and dated. Grows on you. It’s a beautiful sounding record.

Ella Fitzgerald – Sings The Rodgers And Hart Song Book Volume 2 (Verve 1959)

Count Basie & Dizzy Gillespie ‎– The Gifted Ones (Pablo 1979)

Super album, lovely recording. 

The Roches - The Roches (Warner Bros. 1979)

Peter, Paul And Mary – Album (Warner Bros. 1966)

@bkeske A real irk of mine. I know many have LRS inventories but Discogs might look at penalizing them for this. They're quick enough to get heavy with buyers who delay payment.

Unfortunately, the seller on Discogs cancelled the sale. Stated he was already sold.

Hi Jim. 
Yeah, Bromberg is a little like Loudon Wainwright lll with more blues in the mix.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse ‎– Live Rust (Reprise 1979)

We used play this a lot on an old cheap Technics. Vinyl looks rough - paper scuffs, some scratches and mold. Gave it a quick SpinClean. Plays perfectly with minimal noise. You never can tell. Awesome how a good table gets the music out.
The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem With Pete Seeger, Bruce Langhorne ‎– A Spontaneous Performance Recording! (Columbia 1961)

Mint. Fine live recording. Devoid of electronic haze; deep black soundstage.
Jay McShann Featuring Claude Williams ‎– The Man From Muskogee (Sackville 1973)
Keely Smith ‎– I Wish You Love (Capitol 1959 mono)

Never heard of her before. Irish-Indian. Nice smokey voice and fine recording. 
Chemical fun. In middle school, a lax science teacher never locked the cabinets. KClO₃ and sugar fireworks.

Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band - S/T (Good Time Jazz 1955 mono)
Norman Greenbaum With Dr. West's Medicine Show And Junk Band - S/T (Gregar 1969)

Love this. Not "Spirit in the Sky" but an eclectic country folk skiffle blend. 
Mayo Muir ‎– The Magic Of Mayo Muir (20th Century Fox 1965 mono)

What a time of innocence. Lovely. Sounds great.. Some sibilance in the cut unfortunately.  
Tom Paley & Peggy Seeger - S/T (Elektra 1965)

History on this Veterans' Day. American folk songs. Love these old recordings with black backgrounds free of transistor and digital hash.
Joe Turner ‎– The Boss Of The Blues Sings Kansas City Jazz (Atlantic 1956 mono)

Does not get much better than this.
Duster Bennett ‎– Justa Duster (Blue Horizon 1969)

Harmonica, guitar, and drums one man band style post-skiffle bluesman from UK. Love it.
