Best Record You Have Ever heard


Thought I would start this thread for all you vinyl lovers out there.

The rules are simple:
1. Only post one album, the absolute best you have heard.
2. It must be something you have heard on VINYL.
3. Both the recording AND musical content must be impeccable
and I do mean BOTH!
4. Try to be as specific as possible i.e/ version, year, re-issue, original, 45RM,direct to disc, half speed mastered etc...

Here is mine.

Artist: John Frusciante
Album: Curtains
Release: Record COllection
Date: 2005
Recording: It was done in his living room, fully acoustic album. Mastered by Bernie Grundman Hollywood CA.
dfelkai
Rachmaninov; Symphonic Dances/Vocalise

Reference Recordings RM1504

Eiji Oue & Minnesota Orchestra.

A true reference recording..
Toto IV, Japanese pressing, CBS Master Sound.

Its the best sounding LP I have heard and am fortunate enough to own a pristine copy.
Pink Floyd 'Wish You were here' on Columbia Half-speed mastered extended range recording. also says CBS MASTERSOUND.
The 2lp reissue Mono & Stereo  of the first David Bowie album 1967.

Sound quality is excellent . Stand out track Come and buy my Toys. Btw I couldn't care less if the transfer is analog or digital it sounds good to my ears and thats my criteria.


As above;
to match w/ the Alice in Chains Unplugged, Nirvana Live in New York (Unplugged).
