Your favorite excellent quality/sounding LPs


I am pretty new to vinyl. Am already addicted. Maybe great digital has great detail and great qualities, but nothing, except reel to reel, has the organic, “real” sound of vinyl! Especially during these times, I listen for hours and “enjoy the music”. As we know, there are only some few great recordings. Seems most of the 180 gram LPs, even if old recordings, have, at least, lovely mid range. I am not a rock or electronic guy. All analog instrument, mostly unprocessed are my favorite. Singer/songwriter, Pop or Jazz, small scale Classical. Stuff that does well with my SET-like taste. Hard to describe what is an enjoyable recording but when an LP is well made and “musical” they seem to really stand out.

A longtime favorite of mine is the first LP by Kate Bush. Either the US or British pressing will do. A magical recording! The Kick Inside!
An easy recommendation are the Haydn "named" symphonies by Neville Marriner & The Academy Of St.Martins on Philips. All analog from the '70s on European pressings! Can be found on Discogs.
For modern Jazz: Weather Report's first S/T, I Sing The Body Electric, Sweet Nighter and Heavy Weather! Superb compositions and playing by virtuoso musicians!
