For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
love tractor, this ain't no outer space ship--i remember them mostly as a sort of ambient guitar instrumental band, but this one is more songful than you'd expect
swimming pool q's, s/t--another athens band; glossier and more new-wavy than my usual, but they had a great chick singer and some excellent songs
hunters and collectors,collected works--docked one notch for using horns and another one for occasionally sounding like u2, but still vg, with a couple of classics like "back in the breadline" and "throw your arms"

A nice mix on the last day of June! All had above average SQ. Easily Nugent's 2nd best studio recording with solid SQ. Great comeback album for P/P&M "Forever Young" is 5* Baby's-ST debut is severely overlooked IMO. Close SQ battle between Ross/P/P&M but Concord Jazz takes another SQ crown!

i got my Claim Form for the MoFi settlement, this $60 LP qualifies for a $3 award. I prefer it’s sound over my 1985 OP. I have just a few MoFi’s, not all are sonic improvements over the originals. My claim would come to a whopping $12, I’m giving that up to MoFi and hope they weather the storm.
Thanks! I am trying to get into some classical music after stumbling along on this big marble for 54 years, and your posts are very helpful in that regard. Mostly "modern" stuff like Shoenberg, Crumb, and Shostakovich so far but I'm trying to be open to everything that comes my way. There is so much material, I feel like I have a whole world to discover.

Oh, indeed there is. Part of the enjoyment is learning how they all fit into the big picture and puzzle often referred to as ‘classical’. The ‘modern’ composers are some of my favorites, Stravinsky is incredible.
I get the vibe that opera/individuals are not a major interest to you?
I have a number of opera boxes, and also sonata LP’s for solo piano, violin, etc. Not always my first choice, but do play them when in the mood or want that change. Primarily symphonies, orchestral, and quartets, & chamber are my the type I listen to most.
