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
Flat profile without lead in groove-fine. Hologram on side 1 near center- cool but hokey. Side 1 plays backwards, from center to edge-WHAT! Horrid noise at the end of the side.
Yea, I’ve seen the various sets, but am very impressed by my earlier pressings. Hard to believe they are from the early 60’s, and my box in NM condition. Really sounds wonderful, a little ‘forward’, lacking a bit of overall depth in the soundstage/imaging, but pretty darn good all the same.
Going my memory, but (I believe) the 1st movement adagio in the 131st is insanely good. For whatever reason, that really captivated me.
