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

I have played with the idea of a mono cart for a while now, but I keep fighting off the urge. My Linn TT obviously doesn’t have removable headshell so it would be a pretty serious rabbit hole. 

Miles-Someday My Prince Will Come 1961 6 eye. 

This copy has been in the family since new. PVF cleaned this past summer. Fantastic.

Power outage, so late start and then my stack of NOS Mullard and RCA showed up…about 30 minutes into a warmup LP… Guess tube rolling will commence tomorrow… 

Starting w Traffic box set …after Krauss / Plant finish opening set duty…

Back from Vacation, first records since being back and they sound wonderful.

Beethoven

Piano Sonata No.23 in F Minor, Op.57

”Appassionata”

Ikuyo Kamiya, Pianist

Piano: Bösendorfer, Imperial

RCA (Japan)Direct Mastering 45 RPM

 

Recorded live from the hall directly to the master disc on February 2nd 1977.

This is one of the best solo piano recordings I’ve ever, in my admittedly limited experience, heard. It’s especially beautiful in the difficult lower register.
