What LP shows what analog can do?

I'm relatively new to analog. I've bought up some $1 records, and many sound surprisingly good (though I don't have a cleaner, so some are cracklier than I'd like).

I'd like to buy a couple of new LPs (probably from MusicDirect) that are at the very top sound quality. Of course, music quality counts too. So really I'm looking for suggestions for the record you put on to impress your friends (to show them the difference from CD), or to sit back and truly enjoy just how good analog can sound. I sort of have classical in the back of my mind, but I'm open to whatever.

Thanks.

Get an Analogue Prod copy of Patricia Barber "Cafe Blue" on vinyl and then get a MSFL copy of the same collection. The $50.00 investment might be pricey but you will be amazed. Both are available from Acoustic Sounds or Music Direct.

Marty Wilson Piper's "Art Attack" Second side is great. Dynamic and extended as it gets. I also enjoy the first side of MFSL Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed".
"Emerald Forest" soundtrack.
Doc Cheatham's "Dear Doc".
Do check other threads on Audiogon. Much to choose from depending on musical tastes

"Hers's to Ben" by Jacintha - significantly outperforms even the XRCD version. Great music and beautiful voice. Similar in style to Diana Krall. Order from www.elusivedisc.com.
