Melody Gardot - Which albums to buy?

Hello music lovers,

I just came upon Melody Gardot by chance and after listening to the Amazon sounds clips for "My One and Only Thrill".  Really liked what I was hearing.  I recently got into Karen Souza based on a recommendation from an A'Goner as well as Kandace Springs.  Melody's songs seem to have a genuineness to them.  

So...based on song and sound quality, which album (s) should I pursue?  Thanks!

Thanks for your responses.  I really appreciate reading your opinions.  I ordered "My One and Only Thrill" from Amazon.  It is the import disc including the EP of "Live in Paris".

@tooblue   Could you please opine on the sound quality and "mix" of "Live in Europe"?  How well was your vinyl pressed?  Thanks!

I had no issues what so ever with the recording overall and was surprised when someone else noted it negatively. I will revisit the recording shortly with a barely broken in ART9 that I have just started using but with my ZYX Universe that I have been using for the last 4 years prior, I culled nothing, everything seemed to sound good.

@tooblue   Thanks for opining.  I think I'll get into "My One and Only Thrill/Live in Paris" first and if I like it as much as I suspect I will, I'll check out "Live in Europe".

I do not enjoy her live album, but like every other recording she has.  The live in Paris recording is just disappointing to the point of turning me off to seeing her live.
