For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

Yes, this has been a really nice thread, Joe. It's been a real pleasure to read what others are playing and share some suggestions as we play stuff in our music library. This evening we've been listening to:

Vieuxtemps - "Violin Concerto No. 5"
Bruch - "Scottish Fantasy"
-- Jascha Heifitz and Malcolm Sargent conducting. (RCA LSC 2603-45 Classic Records 45 rpm reissue) Outstanding performance captured in another excellent engineering job by Kenneth Wilkinson. (Another example supporting the argument that the best of the RCA catalog was actually recorded by Decca.)

Paganini - "Il Carnevale di Venezia" and "La Campanella" - Salvatore Accardo -vn, Italiana Chamber Orchestra (Fone 011-45, 45 rpm pressing)

Roy Orbison - "Pretty Woman" - single 12" LP 33rpm/45rpm reissue from Classic Records - a nice demonstration of the benefits of 45 rpm mastering compared to 33 rpm.

Moody Blues - "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor" Threshold THS 5.

Jazz from the Blue Note 45 rpm reissue series from Music Matters and Analogue Productions coming up...
.
Terrapin Station - Grateful Dead...the title track is really something

Sing to Me Mr. C - Perry Como...wonderful RCA Victor Living Stereo recording from yesteryear. Wonderful sound! Vocals and harmonies that simply shimmer! They don't make 'em like this anymore. The distinctive sound quality makes this a very interesting and worthwhile listen.
two recent discoveries that I am listening to almost every day now...if you like modern jazz, check out Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band "Season of Changes" and Christian Scott "Anthem". Highly recommended.
