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.

Agree about the music, but Charles Mingus should never called Charley :-)

Colin Meloy " Sings Live" dbl vinyl
Willie Nelson "Red Headed Stranger" (on Impex). This is one lp that will tell you if you don't have your cartridge set up correctly, especially azimuth.

I just received a import bootleg of the greateful dead live 1977 at Cornell. 4 lp in total. Recording came from the sound board. It's an amazing live show and is a great recording. Definitely in the sense that you get the spacial and excitement of the show feel. Sometimes it could be mixed better but in the live sense it dreat.

Also Jerry Garcia lonesome blues at orlrans state prison is an amazing live acoustic set that has a nice live type of recording.
