Mapleshade/Wildchild are the best recording label period. Although they record primarily jazz and blues, they have recorded some great country, rock cd's, and without a doubt the best reggae album in the United States. In addition, they also record classical. Nevertheless, their recording techniques are arguemently the best. Because the 'shade doesn't do vinyl, the best label for vinyl is Analogue Productions' reissues and Classic Records. If you want great recordings and great sounds you gotta go Classic. Finally, the most humongous soundstage and incrediable imaging for classic recordings go to The Decca Records/London Records "Phase4stereo" recordings. This series of recordings will scare you if you have a full range speaker set-up that can reproduce all harmonics and fundamentals. AIN'T NO HALF STEPPIN' HERE!
