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
Jim, that is one of my all-time favorite albums. Ray is incredible on that one. But then, he always is. Have gotten to see him a couple times, and it was a real treat.
@bkeske, I am a huge fan. Hey, if Zubin and Paavo et. al. call for her to perform with them that’s a good enough endorsement of her musicianship for me. We really shouldn’t hold it against her that just the site of her in performance can send somebody to lofty heights of mind - contemplating the feminine ideal.
This 1962 record sounds so good. The violin sounds real. The detailed elements like the varying timbre across strings, wood tone, pressure on his bow. I can hear him turn and tilt. Amazing.
James, I was just listening to an early 60’s recording the other day/night, and was amazed how good a recording it was. I love it when that happens, as all weren’t that way. David Oistrach Is one of the best IMO. Often overshadowed, but think he was a great musician.

Thank you. I have lurked in these threads, both for amusement, and for some great music suggestions. I often get caught up in forums such as these, so I don't post much lest I fall down the rabbit hole.
Here’s How Records Give You More Of What You Want:
• The Best For Less. Records give you top quality for less money than any other recorded form.
• They Allow Selectivity Of Songs And Tracks. With records it’s easy to pick out the songs you want to play, or to play again in a particular song or side. All you have to do is lift the tone arm and place it where you want it. You can’t do this as easily with anything but a phonograph record.
• They’re The Top Quality In Sound. Long-playing phonograph records look the same now as when they were introduced in 1948, but there’s a world of difference. Countless refinements and developments have been made to perfect the long-playing record’s technical excellence and insure the best in sound reproduction and quality available in recorded form.
• They’ll Give You Hours Of Continuous And Uninterrupted Listening Pleasure. Just stack them up on your automatic changer and relax.
