What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?


Just like with records, I came across releases on CD that were never popular, but bring lots of interesting music and so I started collecting CDs that do have collectible value for the reason of a great and rare music presented.

So far album "Sauce Hollandaise" by Ashra is on my #1 desirable list

"Best Band You've Never Heard In Your Life" by Frank Zappa is my 2nd best CD I've ever heard.

Great and timely post as recently been organizing/cataloging my CD collection: 

Kiri Te Kanawa: "Mozart Opera Arias", London Symphony

Buena Vista Social Club (one of several CD's produced by Ry Cooder I love)

Ry Cooder "Jazz", "Paradise and Lunch", etc.

Gary Burton: "Reunion"

Paul Michael Meredith: "The Luxury of Love"

Beck - Sea Change.   Mofi special limited edition CD.  Beck at its best, for me.

@heretobuy . I grew up with Fats Waller's grandson, his great grandson is actually an NBA player.. I grew up in a famous area in NY where there were tons of musicians  and artist; James Brown, Fats Waller, Count Basie, Leana Horn, heck even Al Roker, LL Cool J, many others. When we were little and didn't have a neighborhood pool, Count Basie would open is pool to the kids in the neighborhood. Can you guess the area in NY? :)
