There is a lot of good suggestions , some of which I would agree with so I'll give you 3 different ones from 3 different genres  ( plus 1 ) .

Jimi Hendrix  "Electric LadyLand " 

Joni Mitchell   " Ladies of the Canyon "

Solti & CSO  Beethoven's 6th symphony " Pastoral "

plus 1

Julie London  " At Home "

If you can stretch the budget, MFSL One-Step Ultradisc are about as good vinyl records get IMHO:

1. Muddy Waters - Folk Singer

2. Eric Clapton - Unplugged

3. Crosby Stills and Nash

This is what Michael Fremer said about the Santana Abraxas MFSL Ultradisc:

"Halfway through this "one step"’s side one I said to myself "This might be the best record I’ve ever heard". I meant by that the technical quality of the record and how much it resembles tape in four critical parameters: the wide dynamics and low bass response, the unlimited dynamic range, the tape-like sense of flow and especially the enormity of the soundstage presentation. More importantly I got a greater appreciation for the music, the musicianship and the showmanship too."

High praise indeed! You can read the full review here:
