Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list

I've been listening to some of my favorite recordings this weekend and was wondering what others on Audiogon felt were there favorites. We have all seen the Stereophile "Records to Die For", The Absolute Sounds recommended list, Music Directs' list, The Golden Ear, etc. now I'm hoping to assemble the Audiogon "Recordings To Die For". Please list your five favorite recordings, the ones you listen to over and over or play for friends. I would assume the sonic quality is excellent in that this is an audiophile site. The performance and enjoy ability should also be excellent. Please leave your top five, even if they are already chosen so we can discover the very top for the Audiogon listeners. ALSO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CRITICIZING OTHERS OPINIONS AND JUST LEAVE YOUR FAVORITES!

August 2002: I have compiled a summary and a full printer-friendly list of all of the recommendations below.

Some great female vocal jazz and acoustic.....
The Laurie Lewis Quintet with Heather Stewart..." A Sense Of Wonder "...these are all original from Melbourne Australia I think I bought it from CD Baby? Email is loral@hotkey.net.au
mostly written and arranged by Laurie's wife,Alwyn recorded in 2004.
Do not confuse this with Laurie Lewis The country singer with the same name.
Also try Sarah Elizabeth Campbell...female vocal acoustic...
" A little Tenderness " really a great and different voice recorded on Deja disc in 1995...10 tracks and I really like the Geraldine & Ruthie Mae Track...I think that I got this from CD Baby also
Both of these are not Audiophile recordings but they sound very natural.
I hope you enjoy.....

Here are some of my favorites:

Ella and Louis, Analogue Production's 45rpm LP. Great recording and music.

Blood, Sweat & Tears, their 2nd album on ORG label, 45rpm LP. In a word, dynamic. Great music as well.

Mary Black, No Frontiers, Pure Pleasure Records, LP

Eric Clapton, Unplugged, LP version.
