For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue

and,

If you're like me, even at my age, when the music hits me, I bolt straight up and play air guitar;

@6t5-gto ,

I bought The Police box. Sounds great at last hearing. 

Soft spot for GITM !

The Cars - The Cars - Mofi 

Bob Marley - Exodus - O/P

Colter Wall - S/T 

Rush - Moving Pictures - 40th anniversary reissue 

As if I ever need an excuse to listen to this record twice in one night….

A comparison is in order.

the bobby hamilton quintet unlimited - dream queen

not usually a RSD release guy but this reissue was a must have in my world. the record was basically unobtainable til now - highly regarded and sought after by the select few who were even aware of its excistence. this repress is still available direct from the label. bernie grundman remastered it 

The Modern Jazz Quartet - The Last Concert (thank goodness it wasn’t, as I saw them about 10 years later, and it was indeed wonderful). Atlantic 2LP gatefold 1975

 

@dayglow 

It was close. I wasn’t sure, so checked Discogs, and a live Gene Harris concert was the last vinyl from that period,  #397. I’ve never heard it.
 

Tool "Fear Inoculum"

2021/RCA /5lp box

This package is 5 lps with etching in side two of each lp. What a waist of an opportunity. What a waist of our resources!

So far sounding very good. Quiet vinyl. Not quite as analog sounding as my copy of

"Aenima". 

splitting hairs, but I Do do that on occasion.

@bkeske

Thx for the quick reply. Since the original CJ vinyl catalogue ended at CJ-400(George Shearing/Piano 1990) correct me if wrong. The Gene Harris Quartet "Listen Here!" could be one of the last 5 star recordings on original Concord Jazz vinyl.

@dayglow

Both are really good. Concord is almost always excellent. I might give a slight advantage to the Gene Harris LP.

@bkeske 

+2  Both highly acclaimed Concord Jazz releases CJ-253 Monty Alexander and CJ-385 Gene Harris. Both are NOT in my 70+ CJ collection. Which recording has the better SQ?

BTW, the phono stage is sounding great! Break-in is important on all components/parts!

@slaw 

Very nice album Steve. I’ve had it on CD for a long time, but the vinyl, well….😉
