Wow an old album that rocked your world

I know this is a Hifi forum but isn’t it about the music as well. Has anyone recently played a
Vinyl, disc or whatever you are into. One that you forgot was so good and totally was blown away by the music and the recording? If so share it with us. Mine was Mahavishnu orchestra Birds of Fire. Have not listened to that for some time. Wow. FORGOT HOW GOOD THAT WAS. 
This is what Hifi is all about IMO.

I thought of another gem...
Even if you think that you have no interest in The Kinks, or all that you know of them is "Lola" (yuk) or "You Really Got Me", you need to get Village Green Preservation Society. I've been listening to it for about 45 years and I never get tired of it. It is fresh and brilliant. Ray Davies and the band at their best, which is very good indeed.

@roxy54, you are SOP right about VGPS! Ray's other masterpieces are the two previous Kinks albums, the equally great Face To Face ('66) and Something Else ('67). Three in a row!

A recital by the late violinist Wanda Wiłkomirska of various short classical pieces, including the famous Chaconne of J. S. Bach.  On a 1974 Connoisseur Society In Sync cassette, which was produced with real-time duplication on CrO2 tape, and with zero dynamic compression.

Fantastic, both musically and sonically!
