I truly love "Elephant" on vinyl. Fact is, their whole catalogue sounds great on vinyl. (I've got them all except "Get Behind Me Satan," which never had a commercial vinyl release, though there were several hundred pressed for reviewers. I would sometimes watch the price soar on eBay when one would come up, but they always went for way more than I was willing to spend.)
Really, though, I cannot recommend "Elephant" enough. Don't stop there, though. And yes, Jack's solo album is great on wax, too.
