Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of


I prefer threads that talk about music than gear...and here is one. I assume everybody has a "go to"LP in their collection. A record that has formed a deep connection. A record you are protective of. A record you want to keep to yourself. A record so personal it hurts to reveal. For me it is... the Church...the Blurred Crusade.

What I find interesting about this thread is how few classic jazz, both vocals and instrumentals, and how few classical albums are listed. There is a whole different world of music to discover out there guys. Not raggin' on ya ... just want to expand the musical taste a bit.

A great jazz recordings:

These are just great sounding records and performances to tickle your ear drums.

Happy listening ...
In addition, I listened to a lot of the recommendations made in this thread on "Spotify." Of course this doesn't apply to everyone who made the recommendations, but for those who it does apply to ... how in hell can you stand all of that artificial digital reverb? Good grief ... we spend tons of money to recreate music in its natural state ... and what I'm hearing in so many cases is electronic processed gorp. If I wanted to hear this kind of mish-mash, I'd attend more audio shows like CES.
Oregonpapa, all great choices, but please read the title again for the actual reason for the thread.

As usual, I do feel like the pot calling the kettle black, but my guess is you may know some gems not commonly known.
Acman 3 ...

Okay, try this one: Dean Martin: "Dream with Dean."

Or Sammy Davis Jr & Larindo Almeida Plays."

Buy these two albums and I swear you will NEVER go back to electronically processed music drenched in artificial digital reverb again. These two albums will show you exactly why we spend the mega bucks on our audio equipment. Trust me on this ... you won't be sorry.

Happy listening ...
Donnie Iris "Back on the Streets"? Sorry I have a relatively small vinyl collection and that's the best I could do. For CD it would be "Give Em All a Big Fat Lip" by the Whigs.
