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

The St. Louis Ragtimers – The St. Louis Ragtimers Volume 2 (Audiophile 1962)

Great music. Sweet dynamic recording. Black backgrounds. That's all that matters. Probably using black plate tubes. Listened to same era recording from the mid 80s and it was grey and mushy by comparison. How did they mess it up?
