Very best sounding Vinyl

So first I did search back to 2014 to see if there was a thread on this subject but only found threads that dance around the topic but not directly on point. If I missed then copy the link here and I’ll delete.

Started building my record collection and have about 20 so far but clear and away the two very best recordings are Joni Mitchell’s Blue and the infamous Come away with me Norah Jones. Of course its the vocals and the acoustic instruments but no denying the top notch quality recording.

So what else is out there on that level - any genre? To show off your system....similar to the home theater bluray lists.

I don’t know if like classical. But if you want a recording that sounds like a real orchestra is in the room with you. Find a reissue of the DECCA Mahler Symphony No. 2 Restoration, with Heather Harper and Helen Watts by Georg Solti and The London Symphony.

So I dropped in today on Generation Records on Thompson Street, West Village NYC. I used to pass by that place all the time but not this time.

Only had an hour but could have spent 3-4 hrs going through their two huge floors of vintage used records and some new ones both at great prices.

Thinking about Better Records and finding that diamond in the rough Stamper quality but wasn’t fully prepared with a list or even know what pressings i was looking for exactly, so I’ll be back. They get used records coming in daily - most are $5-$10.
