Great sounding new vinyl

Gentlemans,
Let's try to share some stellar experiences with music. I'd like to discover more titles with you in a positive way. Every title I post here is listened just before to be sure I am not biased. So it will take time, little by little, but everytime I listen to those vinyls I am transported...to heaven !
1/ Janos Starker/ J.S. Bach : Suites for unaccompanied cello/ Speaker's Corner
The most relaxing after a hard day work. Very revealing lower midrange of your system. Emotionaly beautiful.
2/ Janis Ian: Breaking silence / Analogue Productions ( A.P.)
Female voice so well recorded, a must.
3/ Archie Shepp & Horace Parlan : Trouble in mind / SteepleChase Audiophile
This is one of my favourite jazz recordings.
4/ Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt : A Meeting by the river / 45 RPM A.P.
A pure analog recording vacuum tube Tim de Paravicini of EAR, Kevin Gray
This one is a gem, So well recorded, fells like you are with the musicians...
5/ Johnny Griffin : The Kerry Dancers / 45 RPM A.P.
If you like sax try this one, he was a genious. Gorgeous recording.
6/ Studio One Classics: the original / Soul jazz Records
If you like reggae, ragga,ska and jamaican souds of the 60's,70's,
Soul Jazz is a UK company that reissues the best with damn' good sound.
That's all for today. I will give more inputs as time allows...
Happy listening !

 
"Stravinsky Ballets box set, Dorati, Speakers Corner Mercury reissues", as Rushton mentioned. Its a good thing Speakers Corner picked up the licenses for these. Petrouchka and the Rite of Spring are sonically very good, and Firebird is one of those 'pinnacle of the vinyl medium' offerings. SC has done a wonderful job with the slipcase, booklet, and covers.

Its taken me a while to realize what everyone else probably knows: Stravinsky was a genius - a rhythmic devil who stretched and broke the bounds of his musical context in fantastical ways. Pricey, yes, but you may not want to let these lapse.

>>This is the way it was in vinyl's heyday, prior to CD. More LPs sucked than sounded great.<<

Totally untrue.

In vinyl's "heyday" there were far more great recordings than poor recordings.

My extensive 50 year+ collection is proof positive.

You are obviously speaking from limited experience.

Bill, you're so full of crap that I can smell you from here.

Through the 1970s DG, RCA and, to a lesser extent, Columbia, all issued mostly poor pressings from compressed masters. Some labels, like Lyrita, HM, Mercury and Nonesuch bucked the trend, but at much lower volumes.

I'll bet that Mr. Feil, like the rest of us 50+ audiophiles, hand picked his LPs back in the day. My old LP mostly sound great today, but I wasn't buying the average records of the day. Pop and rock was really horrible, in general.
