Name a couple of HOLY GRAIL LPs

Just about any Frank Sinatra record on Reprise records. He always had the best of everything...musicians, engineers, etc. Those recordings were always pristine.

Same thing with Sammy Davis Jr. on Reprise.

I have all the original first pressings:
Fire & Rain, James Taylor
Earth & Sun & Moon, Midnight Oil
This is Radio Clash, The Clash
Gossip, Paul Kelly
OK Computer, Radiohead

Freddie Hubbard Straight Life.

Miles Davis Sketches of Spain is wonderful on the 45 rpm reissue. Ditto Bill Evans Waltz for Debby.The 45s sound more like master tape than any 33 rpm IME. Sketches is an amazing arrangement and the performance is inspired, not to mention inspiring.

How about Joe Wilder on 'Wilder, Wilder, Wilder, on the Savoy label. Hi Fidelity is still the way to hear realism. As far as stereo gos my favorite is Roy Gaines 'I Got the T-Bone Walker Blues'. Check out I'm in an awful mood. I still think that some of the best sounds were obtained by producer Jay Miller on his Excello recordings. They were Mono kicked up a few notches.
