Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise...


Wondering what the general consensus would be here.  What five Blues LPs would you pick to showcase your sound system’s strengths to another Blues lover?  Not so much interested in “historically important” discs here as much as Blues on vinyl that just sounds fantastic enough to prompt one to wear out an expensive cartridge/stylus on...

I was gifted an OP(stereo/pink cover/1A pressing) of Fleetwood Mac "S/T" a while back in very well used shape. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to whip it back into shape. I own the MOV version as well. My conclusion is if you love this lp enough, try to find a great OP copy. Check out "Long Grey Mare" perfection!

Based upon a few of your posts, I assume you're a fan of Ten Years After? If you don't already own it, check out Ten Years After "S/T"  Sundazed/mono/2017.  It's fantastic!
Taj Mahal first lp

My MFSL "Bring the Family" lp sounds great!
When others mention Boz Scaggs...most likely, it's due to Duane Allman' playing on "Loan Me a Dime". Not to take anything away from Boz, who is an underrated artist.

Played it recently and the SQ is outstanding!
