What are the treasures in your vinyl library?

They don't have to be the collector's items, necessarily. I'm just asking, what is your short list of LPs in your personal library that you prize the most (maximum 5)?

I'll start:

Diana Krall: "From This Moment On" from Classic Records, mastered on a tube cutter

Buddy Rich: "Class of '78", Direct-to-disk recording of my favorite drummer leading the best incarnation of his band

Muddy Waters: "Folk Singer", not MFSL or German pressing or original pressing or anything fancy, just a Chess/MCA 1987 reissue LP that puts you in the room with Muddy

I also have a 35mm Everest recording of Mozart woodwind sonatas that I picked up at St. Vincent DePaul for $1. It's old and a little ragged, but that 35mm mag tape really puts the players right there in the living room.

I would say the promo label Japan pressing Of John Coltrane's Sun Ship in Mint condition.
Also the Japanese pressing of Miles Davis' Bitche's Brew. My copy of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here on Japan MasterSound half -speed.

Numbered but not in any particular order:

1. Elgar's Starlight Express-2 records HMV Greensleeves
2. La Fete De Lane - Harmonia Mundi
3. Handel's Organ Concerti - Philips - Concerto Amsterdam w/Jaap Schroder
4. Harry Belafonte @ Carnegie Hall - Classic Reissue
5. Vaughn Williams - The Lark Acending - Marriner w/St Martins in the Field - Philips

I agree with my dear friend Rushton, the list changes depending upon my mood, but these bring me pleasure more often than most others.

30 year old Paco de Lucia albums aquired from Spain in 70's. Still like new.
