What readily available LP's should I consider


After many years of chasing "perfect" digital playback, I’ve ordered a new vinyl playback rig, and am dusting off my old vinyl, and am so to speak, going back to the future.

While I've found many posts, web sites etc., with vintage vinyl recommendations, finding a list of well-recorded, excellent-sounding new, or READILY available pressings, has not been so easy.

What highly prized, must have LP's, should I be looking for? As most of us, my musical tastes are quite varied, and with the exception of rap, hip-hop, and opera (quite a combination huh?), I'm open to your list of EASILY procurable, LP's to die for.

Rushton: I like the 'Mendelssohn: Symphony 3 ‘Scotch’ & Fingal’s Cave Overture' so much that I already ordered the tickets for the live concert with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra on Nov, 18th. Thanks.

Mrmb, I just got blown away by Ravel: Bolero - Herbert Von Karajan - BPO - MFSL 1-513. If you can get it, buy it. I had luck and got it for $17.

Well, shucks ... guess I'll throw in my 2 cents worth:

1. Supertramp, Crime of the Centry, MFSL UHQR
2. Pink Floyd, DSOTM, Japanese Pro-Use Series
3. Beatles, Abbey Road, Japanese Pro-Use Series
4. Pink Floyd, WYWH, Mastersound 1/2 speed master
5. Eva Cassidy, Songbird
6. John Klemmer, Straight From the Heart (D2D)
7. Fresh Aire III, American Grammophone
8. Little Feat, Waiting for Columbus, MFSL
9. Junior Wells, Hoodoo Man Blues, Analogue Prods.
10. Fennell, Cleveland Winds, Holst, Handel & Bach (Telarc)
Styx, going from the recording to a live performance is a great directional move!! Its wonderful when the music we get to hear at home generates the motivation to go to something live. Thanks for sharing this.
