Wow moments while listening to vinyl records


Howdy A'goners ....

I got back into listening to vinyl records a couple of years ago. Although I have more CDs or FLAC files than my vinyl records collection at the moment, these days I listen to vinyl albums a lot more than I listen to the CDs or music files.

I am creating a database of songs or even whole albums that give me goosebumps.... that make me say wow this sounds amazing! And I keep repeating to listen to that song again and again. You know what I am talking about. Let me share a couple of songs to start the thread - 
1) Cris Williamson - waterfall
2) Mickey Newbury - an american trilogy

I want to hear from you about your experience. Please share what songs / albums give you the same feeling. It would be great if you describe what particular aspect of the sound or music makes you feel that way. I am not a musician or even a trained listener. I am not an audiophile. So this is going to be my learning experience about various terms like transient, sound stage, cohesive/organic sound etc. only if you share your experience with me. It will also help me to get some of those albums to add to my collection.  

Currently I have two tables - a Denon DP-65F with an Ortofon 2M Black cart, and a Project RPM 9.1 table. I am in the process of choosing a cart for the Project table. I requested feedback on specific carts in another thread.

Please share your experience of songs / albums that create audio nirvana for you :)

Thanks

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue / All Blues
This track, on a system that can resolve it, will wow you with not only great music, but a very wide/deep soundstage with exacting instrument placement that'll blow your mind!
If This Bass Could Only Talk is a 1988 album by American bass player Stanley Clarke. This is an exceptional recording on vinyl.
"88 Basie Street" Count Basie and Orchestra originally released by Pablo Records. The 45 RPM reissue was a WOW moment for me when a friend brought over a copy to compare with my Japanese JVC XRCD. Unfortunately difficult to find as it was a quite limited release by Analogue Productions. The dynamics and immediacy of this recording is as lifelike as any vinyl recording I am familiar with. 
I have a couple of thousand albums on vinyl and I rate each one after listening.  There are so many extraordinary recordings, that trying to list the all best ones is like trying to list the best wines.  But I have noticed that many of the best are those rare direct-to-disc.  I believe that these best exemplify the best qualities of vinyl as a medium.  Be prepared, though, to search long and hard to find some of these and then pay dearly when you do ... but if you have the coin, they are worthy!  I have also found that in general the remastered pressings from Analogue Productions are superb and often far better than the originals.
Direct to Disc must-haves:
> Bill Berry: For Duke; M&K Realtime RT-101
> Thelma Huston: I've Got the Music in Me; Sheffield Labs LAB-2
> LA 4: Just Friends; Concord Jazz CJD-1001
Remastered Must-Haves:
> Dead Can Dance: Into the Labyrinth; Mobile Fidelity  MOFI 2-001
> Donald Fagen: The Night Fly;  Mobile Fidelity UD1S 2-003
> Ray Brown Trio: Soular Energy; Analogue Productions APJ 268-45
Special Mention:
> Herbie Hancock: Future Shock; Columbia FC 38814
@crazybookman:
I agree with you on the stereo Beatles "White Album" debacle. Good news though, they got it right on the Mono remaster & pressing.
