Extraordinary recordings on vinyl

You've most likely heard or read of MF's +10 (on his 1-10) scale of rating music, both sonically and for content...

What are your favorite recordings (on vinyl) that tip the scale over 10?

Here's my first one... Steve Phillips "Steel-Rail Blues"

This lp is pure as the driven snow, not an unpure note to be found.

Chet Atkins/Mark Knopfler "Neck And Neck". I have the original, I assume the MOV is also excellent!

Slaw, if you like Black Dub, you should pick up the Trixie Whitley EP cut at 45 from Belgium with one track, "I'd Rather Go Blind" (not to be confused with the famous Etta James' piece). Same band, same tunefulness, even better production quality than the album. Don't confuse this with other EPs she cut which have the same track- the one to get is essentially a 10 inch single. You can buy it online from a shop in Belgium, not sure it is available in the States directly.
