Extraordinary recordings on vinyl

You've most likely heard or read of MF's +10 (on his 1-10) scale of rating music, both sonically and for content...

What are your favorite recordings (on vinyl) that tip the scale over 10?

Here's my first one... Steve Phillips "Steel-Rail Blues"

This lp is pure as the driven snow, not an unpure note to be found.

Thanks, did not know about it, but hearing a few cuts at YouTube I ordered Steel_Rail Blues from a seller at Discogs. Good call, thanks for the recommendation.

I like Oliver Nelson mentioned by Frogman. Material + sound make this album one of the most desirable by any jazz collector.
