Your favorite Mahler recordings on vinyl

I'm trying to expand my listening experience and add to my vinyl collection.   I know there are a lot of classical listeners with far more knowledge than me.  Please suggest recordings that you like, for my listening pleasure.

Thanks

I have the Nonesuch version.  A little oddly balanced in the string section, It sounds great though, and yes, a little noisy.

I love that Vanguard Wunderhorn LP.  Wore out my first copy.  Managed to find a near mint copy on EBay.
I also second the Haitink/Ameling 4th.
The 9th with Barbirolli and the Berlin Philharmonic on EMI/Angel is great, musically and sonically.
I first got to know the 9th and Mahler for that matter on a wonderfully sounding performance by Kondrashin, of all people, also on Angel.  Evidently he was a Russian Mahler specialist.
