Best Album Purchase, or Best Evaluating Record

I would just like to know what you consider your best album purchase ever, or your choice of album used to evaluate a stereo system.

My best purchase has to be about 300 - 400 classical records, for $300, that contained many mint shaded dogs, Living Presence, and blue Backs (among others).

I bought Rickie Lee Jones' debut album when it first hit the racks in Tower Records on the Sunset Strip in 1979. I think I paid $4.99 for it. Great recording, fine stamping, and still one of my reference LPs after all these years.

I like the Rickie Lee Jones too. Any Miles Davis sounds great as well. I just spun a copy of Relaxin' that was excellent. I haven't heard Workin' yet, but I will soon.

jazz at the pawnshop. if a component can't play this,especially the last track on side 1 without everyone in earshot dancing, it's no good.

I recently bought 70 Deutch Grammaphone classical LPs at $190. They are all in new/mint condition - no scratches, no molds, no play noise, no warps. Most of them not in popular category, which I prefer. I don't want to add another Beethoven Symphony #5/#9 into my collection. ;-)
