Name a couple of HOLY GRAIL LPs

Buckingham and Nicks is a very good LP that is well recorded and excellent sound stage. Dark Side of the Moon from Floyd, Dr John Night Tripper, Dan Fogelberg/Tim Weisberg--Twin Sons of different mothers, and the list could go on and on. Great thread

Flora Purim/Airto/Joe Farrell "Three way mirror" Reference Recordings, this is one of my fav's for music and sound.
Steely Dan-AJA MFSL ... has anyone picked up the NEW AJA 180 gram pressing??? better than MoFi???
Bruce Cockburn - Dancing in the Dragons Jaw - Really great recording.. get the True North Canadian import.
Joan Baez "Diamonds and Rust" Nautilus half speed
Larry Carlton "Alone but never alone" MGM KM virgin vinyl
Michael Hedges "Aerial Boundries" Wyndam Hill virgin vinyl half speed
Daryl Anger's Montreux "Chiaroscuro" Wyndam Hill " really great sound
Gino Vanelli "Brother to Brother" Nautilus "
Supertramp "Crisis what Crisis" A&M half speed
Weather Report "Heavy Weather" CBS half speed
Santana "Welcome" can you say Lush Life? Japanese or Holland pressing.
Holst "The Planets" MFSL killer.
Alan Parsons "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" MFSL
Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington on MFSL I love this record!!
Yeah the Classic records pressing of Armstrong is wonderful too...
and one more, Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" Classic Records 200 gram pressing. I've heard complaints here of Classic records's pressing quality but mine is PERFECT.

Bernie Krauss "Citadels of Mystery", Ry Cooder "Jazz"

Best recording I've come across:
Kojak & Baretta, TV Screen Theme Music, RCA JRS-9522 Japanese press, track 4 : Hawaii 5-O, M. Stevens.

The dynamics and imaging on that track just shocks everyone who's heard it.

Honorable mention:
>Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte, LA4, 45rpm East Wind 455-5002.
>Isaac Stern plays Mozart Violin Concerto No3 & 5. Sony SX-74 SOCL 1059. The 2nd movement of the 3rd concerto is particularly haunting, time and space seems to stand still.
>Zukerman, Stern, Perlman, Mintz Israel PO, DG 2741026. 4 seasons, etc... The Double Concerto BWV 1043 performed by Stern and Mintz is special.

The Zombies -- Odessey & Oracle (original UK CBS, 1967)
Caedmon -- Caedmon (UK private press 1978)
Mellow Candle -- Swaddling Songs (UK Decca 1973)
