Who is you go to for top quality vinyl


I use to buy so many Japaneese and German  pressings locally when i was a younger man.
Now I only see them shipped from japan for crazy shipping prices on ebay(and weeks away ),
I hear all the great recommendations on specific labeled vinyl or mixes.I know its a collection, but where is your go too.
Thanks

Yes, Rumours and to a lesser degree S/T are both great sounding reissues. Cheers,

oleschool, please let me commiserate on your lost collection (and house!), here in Malibu I go nuts each time temp in the Valley reaches 100 and I realize that one flick of a cigarette butt by a passing asshole or a "friendly citizen" starting another fire, and thats it for my collection!
If I may, does anyone have enything nice to say about Soviet-era pressings from Melodiya? Thats all I had when growing up, totally hated it for warped records, learned that LPs can be totally and consistently flat only after visiting Poland in late 80-ies and bringing back Jethro Tull, Genesis, DireStraits, PF... Was totally stunned when John Schwarts from Chicago ProMusica mentioned that Melodiya made excellent-sounding records!??!!? John is like God to me, but this one statement goes against all my personal experiences! Maybe he just wanted to make me feel better about my x-citizenship?
Also, check Art Dudley ramblings in a Stereophile few issues back about a lady from England who sells used LPs making notes how many pops/clicks there is. 
servs- I have a couple of oddball Beatles records made in the Soviet era that sound pretty good. One is an early comp w/ Taste of Honey. It’s probably a 2 dollar bin record. I do have a fair number of Melodiya classical records that I acquired over the years, and never thought they were outstanding, but it's been quite a few years since I listened to any of them. Some interesting music, early modern piano, e.g. Scriabin, was recorded in Russia, and while interpreted by others, some of the better renditions are only on old Soviet records. (I have yet to bite the bullet on those). What is interesting is that some of the uber records- Vertigos, obscure prog records, etc. got scooped up by wealthy or smart collectors in Russia, and they became market makers for those records.
