Best Record You Have Ever heard

Thought I would start this thread for all you vinyl lovers out there.

The rules are simple:
1. Only post one album, the absolute best you have heard.
2. It must be something you have heard on VINYL.
3. Both the recording AND musical content must be impeccable
and I do mean BOTH!
4. Try to be as specific as possible i.e/ version, year, re-issue, original, 45RM,direct to disc, half speed mastered etc...

Here is mine.

Artist: John Frusciante
Album: Curtains
Release: Record COllection
Date: 2005
Recording: It was done in his living room, fully acoustic album. Mastered by Bernie Grundman Hollywood CA.

So many great ones BUT if i had to pick i could easily say:

ALICE IN CHAINS - MTV UNPLUGGED

Extremely quiet record w/ oodles and oodles of all the stuff i like: dynamics, tight bass, a warm/organic quality. "No Excuses" and "Got Me Wrong" are particularly nice!

If you guys think that the MFSL "Crime" is a decent LP, you should listen to the MoFi UHQR of the same.


I don't have the Mobile Fidelity regular version, but do have the UHQR version. It is definatley one of my best sounding LP's

Its hard to pick a single best recording from the many (but still not enough!) out there ... so I will just pick the most recent one I have heard. It is Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade played by Chicago Symphony and conducted by Fritz Reiner. Was recorded in 1956 and issued as an LP under the Living Stereo brand. I have the DSD SACD version. It is amazing to hear the quality of this recording made more than 50 years ago ... recorded in three channel (left, center and right) and then mixed down to two channels for stereo. Makes one wonder why recording engineers spent so many years lost in the wilderness ...
