Dark Side of the Moon - SACD. The main reason I still have my 20-year-old modified Sony SCD-1 is to hear this recording on the SCD-1.

Steely Dan, Aja.

Frank Sinatra and Count Basie, It Might as Well Be Swing.

Isabelle Faust, Bach Sonatas and Partitas

Jethro Tull, Aqualung, Steven Wilson mix.

The list goes on forever.

I just had a 45 year old Commander Cody & the Lost Planet Airmen on my turntable that I bought new and have played many many times.  'Momma Hated Deisels So Bad' sounds really great.  

Then again Zappa's, "Feeding The Monkeys at Ma Maison" is hard to beat.
