What are your favorite recordings that sound best to you?


What would be the best sounding records you have ever listened to that sound best to you regardless of its genre, pressing, mastering, label, value or a technology used to record it?

@baylinor , +10 to the fourth...;)

I have my ’favs’, but will withhold them to myself, for myself. If a stranger was to peruse my ’library’, they would likely be confused to glean the chaff from the kernels that counted...

I’ve a lot of that which I return to, to revisit time, place, and space; driven by mood and desire to attempt the improbable.
A return, if but for a moment, what branded itself into my unknitting neurons....
If you’d like to hear them, show up when my ashes get tossed into the local river.

By then, ’appearance’ to that ’show’ ought to be ’live-streamed’ in some fashion, and likely not a ’node buster’ or that would cause a DOS in any case.

I’m ok with that....’fringe folk’ are used to that, and wouldn’t deny demise anyway.

I’ll work on the programming in the meanwhile.... ;)

After 50 years of experimenting with all music genres, a huge collection of spinning discs has crowded my living/music room. Of the many becomes a few...

Oysterhead / The Grand Pecking Order                                                                       Anne Bisson / Blue Mind deluxe edition  (holy crap is that recorded masterfully)       Haya Band / Silent Sky with singer DaiQuing Tana

I don't know if it's one of the best recordings - but I recently went back and listened to the John Williams recording on the original Jaws theme from 1975. I was shocked at how good the dynamics, soundstage, and impact were captured. 

I am not a Grateful Dead Fan. However performance wise, and  recording quality

one of my favorites of all time. American Beauty.
