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
At this very moment, Oscar Peterson Trio Live at The Blue Note, but seeing the cover of Blues For Allah, I may just pull out the SACD copy I recently got from Mo-FI. Surpising (or not), it doen't really sound any better than my original LP from 45 years ago. The music never stopped.
Shadowfax-The Dreams Of Children Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Jack Sheldon-The Warm World Of Jack Sheldon Side 1
Played 3 more M- thrift store finds Jones/Sheldon and the Osburne Brothers. All 3 will be added to my collection. Cougar disappointed me with SQ but has great content. Shadowfax was the runaway SQ champ which was mastered by Bernie Grundman.
Sally Rogers And Howard Bursen-Satisfied Customers Side 1 SQ Audiophile
The Supremes Featuring Mary Wilson-Greatest Hits Side 1
The Scott Hamilton Quintet-The Right Time(CJ-311) Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Beethoven-Symphony No.4(London CS-6512) Side 1+2 SQ*
The Romantics-ST Side 1
Janis Siegel-At Home Side 2 SQ Audiophile
With the exception of the Supremes SQ flat/dull/muddy and Romantics bright/thin/edgy the rest had very good SQ. SQ* Beethoven just missed Audiophile SQ status due to dynamics being so/so. Guess Who live features an excellent expanded version of "American Woman" which should interest classic rock fans. Ms. Siegel takes the SQ crown over Scott Hamilton due to the soundstage being a little forward, not typical of Concord Jazz vinyl.
Brian, I have an original 1959 copy. It was at the back as it was virtually unplayable. One day last year, I ran it through the US a few times and it now plays as VG+ BUT, man, the SQ is fantastic.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out. Columbia/MOV reissue remaster 2010 European release. Originally 1959.
Just now enjoying George Thorogood’s release "Party of One" . While not all reviews have been great, I like it when a musician goes into the studio with just a guitar and puts it on the line. Another one like this is Dylan’s "World Gone Wrong" LMAO when I read a review of that one that suggested it should have been call "Bob Gone Wrong". I think I’ll play it as soon as George is finished. 🤣

I've only had the cassette, never the vinyl Brian. This MOV sounds great, and the price was right. Would love to hear the original pressing as well 👍
Mingus - Oh Yeah, last night. Speakers Corner. Not an "audiophile" recording, but the pressing and mastering are really nice, the sound quality is excellent and the vinyl is really quiet.
I hadn't listened to this in years and with it being so overshadowed by their first album I forgot just how good this album is. Enjoyed it so much I played it twice back to back. Great SQ also.
