Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

"Perfect Record" as in every song is perfect, no filler songs or bad songs on the record or/and? Perfect vinyl quality and sound?
As many phenomenal albums as there are in this world I think there is a handful of "Perfect albums"
Kind of Blue, Dark Side, Aja, Led Zep I, Highway to Hell, Never Mind the Bollocks, In Rainbows, Trace and...? Are a few I put into my list. 
Hell, Exile on Main Street may be the greatest Rock and roll album of all time but there are two schitt tracks on it I can't stand, just like OK Computer. 
Now Morning Phase is a strong contender to me for the most perfect album ever. Amazing performance, amazing recording, amazing sound quality and mastering. It is awesome in every way to me.

Great question slaw. A few I can name off the top of my head that are as close to perfect as any I’ve heard (excluding The Band’s first two albums, which go without saying ;-) :

Bob Dylan: Blonde On Blonde, John Wesley Harding, Planet Waves, a few others

The Beatles: Rubber Soul, Revolver (if you remove "Yellow Submarine" ;-)

The Flamin’ Groovies: Shake Some Action

Dave Edmunds: Get It

Rockpile: Seconds Of Pleasure

The Dwight Twilley Band: Sincerely

Iris Dement: My Life

John Hiatt: Bring The Family, Slow Turning

Rodney Crowell: The Houston Kid

Buddy Miller: Your Love And Other Lies, a few others of his

Julie Miller: Broken Things

Procol Harum: A Salty Dog

The Beach Boys: Smile

That’s enough outta me.....


That is the trick bdp, when I think "perfect" you can't pull off a single song (like Yellow Submarine) and EVERY track has to be awesome. It is a tough criteria and even renders a massive number of masterpieces 'imperfect' to me. Doesn't mean they aren't the greatest albums of all time but very few "perfect"
