Truly Stunning Vinyl Album

I am currently putting Unconscious Collective's "Pleistocene Moon" on Tofu Carnage Records into Sunday morning rotation. Same Genre, more or less: Godspeed You! Black Emperor's catalog, and The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die catalog. The Dear Hunter also has some nice recordings, more Prog-ish.

I like to "Play It Loud" stuff Mahavishnu "Birds of Fire". Also Billy Cobham's "Spectrum" and "Obscured By Clouds" (Tommy Bolin AND Billy Cobham fan boy  ;). And Zappa's "Hot Rats"

I have a copy of George Antheil's "Ballet Mechanique" a 1955 Mono on Columbia Masterworks that I bought in Mint condition, which is what I play on the dedicated mono system. I also enjoy his "Symphony No. 4 1942/ Estancia" on Everest (in mono), but not an outstanding player...just good

I like big band, Benny Goodman's "Carnegie Hall" is a keeper, several versions to choose from (Sing! Sing! Sing!  well, sings). I like the Cowboy Bebop records from The Seatbelts, and The Seatbelts in general. I also like The Toshiko Akiyoshi- Lew Tabackin Big Band, and their solo projects. I prefer the Japan issues.

I picked up the recent "Evening at the Village Gate"  by Coltrane and Dolphy. The original recording on tape was a tough source to start with, but I like it as an artifact of a time and place, which asks that one put his or her Golden Ears aside for a brief time and enjoy your Manhattan, smoke your Lucky Strike and watch the light play on her pearls; knowing this is a Once In A Lifetime night.'

More often, for me it is the music and the performance, and not so much the technology involved in reproduction. I spend much more on media than I do equipment. I'm just an emotional guy, not so analytical.

Thank you all so much for the incredible suggestions! Blown away! I was up late last night streaming the suggestions that came in yesterday afternoon/evening, and loved all of them! Elgar, Nils Frahm, that Chet album, Fantasia, Respighi, Rachmaninoff, Gorecki - stayed up way later than I intended and loved every minute of it.  Ordered the Elgar and Fantasia albums on vinyl, and will enjoy listening and hunting down all the others you've sent. Sincere thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I can now see having a section of my collection devoted to the responses in this post, organized under "Truly Stunning" -- keep the suggestions coming, thanks!!

I recently purchased the Analouge Productions UHQR The Doors LA Woman disc. I honestly don’t know how a 53 year old recording can sound this good on a 33 1/3 vinyl disc, simply mind blowing! Surface noise was non existent, dynamic range was outstanding as was frequency response. Overall, the best vinyl pressing I have ever heard. Also worth mentioning, packaging and associated printed material for the new disc is simply outstanding, as good as it gets IMHO

I have too many speicific records to recommend, so instead will give you labels and series to focus on:

Analogue Productions - most of their releases are excellent, they are releasing popular albums under the Atlantic label under their Atlantic 75 series. My favorites so far are Core, the Yes Album, and If I Could Only Remember My Name. They also have high end "UHQR" releases. These are pricey and you'll have to decide whether they are worth the price. 

Rhino has a new series called Rhino High Fidelity, with some great AAA releases. 

Mobile Fidelity of course has some great sounding records as well, most with a digital step. 

Also, I would not shy away from looking for originals, especially if the particular album has not been reissued by a label focused on high quality sound. There's a rabbit hole you can go down to find the best pressings. From the 70s, records that have Masterdisk, Kendun, Sterling in the runouts are typically good. 

You can also focus on good mastering engineers. Older ones that come to mind are Robert Ludwig and George Peckham. Newer ones that are excellent are Kevin Gray, Chris Bellman, Bernie Grundman and Ryan K Smith. 

Two that come to mind immediately:

Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station (vintage pressing)

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood (vintage pressing)
