Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of...


I've been off the 'Gon for quite some time due to fatherhood, and was just perusing old threads. I came across "dissapointing audiophile recording" which got me thinking - by far some of the best LP's in my collection (sonically and performance-wise) are NOT the so-called audiophile issues, but just the opposite, they're ones that are never mentioned anywhere. It's often a complete surprise, and sometimes I know within 10 or 20 seconds of dropping the needle that I've got a really special one. So we're not looking for Jennifer Warnes, Pink Floyd, or even Strunz and Farah here... I'm travelling in Asia for 3 weeks, so I can't list mine very accurately by memory, but I will when I return if this thread picks up any steam.

Blonde On Blonde-Contrasts...just googled it and it was there...wow. Been with me for nearly 40 yrs!
Jimmy Cliff - In Concert: the BEst of Jimmy Cliff - Reprise, MS 2256

Fantastic sonics and content. His cover of Cat Stevens' "Wild World" is incredible, musically, and in terms of aliveness. You can aqctually tell when the drummer is hitting the Zildgian cymbal and when it's the Paste!
