Lot of great ideas thanks
So far to test/ practice my first tt when the denon cartridge arrives is inexpensive stuff.much from the budget bin but for first two:

Sarah vaughan "no count"
Mingus "mingus dynasty"
Steve winwood "arc of a diver"
Traffic "john barleycorn"
Rickie lee jones "pirates"
Joe jackson big world
Frank sinatra she shot me down
Sám cooke live at the copa
Supertramp breakfastin america
Robbie robertson self titled
Oscar peterson thorough modern
World party self titled
Waterboys pagan place
Hard to go wrong with Steely Dan: Aja Std domestic ABC
Hugh Masekala: Hope
Elton John : Honkey Chateau
Aerosmith: Toys in the Attic
Fleetwood Mac: S/T or Rumors
The Doors: S/T, Strange Days, LA Woman
Eva Cassidy: Songbird
Joni Mitchell: Court & Spark
Jimi Hendrix : Axis bold as love
CCR: Willy & the poor boys
I know alot of people here, and everywhere else, love Aja, but IMHO, it has got to be the most boring and trite of all Steely Dan's work.

Joni Mitchell: Blue, Don Juan's.....
Fleetwood Mac: anything pre Buckingham/Nicks
Elton John: Tumbleweed Connection
Waterboys: Fisherman's Blues
CCR: none....

lindisfarne is spot on. buy the tunes you really dig, and don't be concerned about the recording.
