Those rare albums that are great on first listen.

A reissue of 12 Dreams would be a real treat. It was my favorite trip back in the day and is one of the few psychedelic albums I still listen to. Ear candy. 

Some of the older Jazz and classical albums that were recorded well are my favorite surprises. In fact from this post I have some listening to do. So thank you everyone for reminding me to go to the archives. Time to swap out a few of my top 100.
