Lee Morgan, Search For The New Land, Blue Note BNLP4169-45 (Music Matters 45rpm reissue)

Johnny Griffin, A Blowin' Session, Blue Note, BNLP1559-45 (Music Matters 45rpm reissue)
The Beatles Red and Blue greatest hits albums. I found them last year, in NM condition, and seldom bring them out. Listing to these, it makes me realize why digital music is so popular. They don't sound 30% as good as my MOFI boxed set (the recordings, the records are pristine), but having all of the greatest hits songs compilated is so convenient.

Actully, I hate to say this, but the remastered 2009 digital recordings, in AppleLossless, played through my Wyred4Sound DAC 2, sound better than these vinyl versions.

Sad to say.
Dvorak "Symphony No. 5 in E minor Op. 95" Kertesz/Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (Decca SXL 2289)

Dave Brubeck Quartet "Time Out" (Columbia CS8192)

Emerson, Lake and Palmer "Emerson, Lake and Palmer" (Cotillion SD 9040)

Copeland "Appalachian Spring" Clark/Pacific Symphony Orchestra (15 ips tape from Reference Recording master - Tape Project)
"La Folia (collection of Spanish Renaissance Dances), Paniagua/AtrmMMadrid, Harmonia Mundi HM 1050 (ATR 0103 reissue)"

Excellent choice. The 'jalopy' pulling up at the end of the LP is stunning, but the entire LP is of reference quality.
