LP for fathers day ideas please............

With fathers day coming up I want to get my dad a new album, he has over 3,000 but hasnt purchased a new one since CD'S came about. He plays records daily and with his new cart and pretty new system I want to get him something dynamic and engaging, he has 6000+ cd's so he will likely have most anything in his collection (Classical, Opera, and World music), For background he studied the Pipe Organ for years so something with Organ or just great Classical is my goal and around $30-$40 so I am asking for ideas because although I have a few hundred Classical titles I am nowhere near compitent enough to guess what is good by names so plesse help! cheers

Hi Chadnliz
Try and find one of the Stockfish records - maybe even the sampler/compilation. Dynamics are awsome. Maybe not classical but...

There is a Marcel DuPre Organ Recital available on a Speakers Corner reissue of the Mercury Living Presence vinyl that should impress your father in both music and sonics.

Hugh Masekela's Hope is what I would call blues/jazz world music. Hard to describe but it is great. The LP probably is the best recording in terms of fidelity that I have ever heard and the music is awesome. I am pretty sure you both would have great fun sharing that LP.

I grew up with a bit of a classical background myself, though I gravitated toward jazz and of course a lot of great rock and pop music came along in my teens (Beatles, Stones, Who, Beach Boys, Cream, etc.).

But I'll tell you what I want for Father's Day, and it's THIS, the 45 rpm vinyl LP of Ry Cooder and V.M. Bhatt's "A Meeting by the River."
