Name a couple of HOLY GRAIL LPs


I have none for lack of experience. The best sound I ever heard was a Classic Records 45rpm version of Louis Armstrong singing St. James Infirmary.

Here are a few of my favorites. Not only is the sound wonderful, but the music is as well.

Class of 55 - I got this album at a garage sale for 50 cents and it is wonderful. The sound is probably the best I've ever heard recorded. It was recorded at Sun Studios, and is Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and Johnny Cash performing the best I've ever heard them.

Music for Bang, Baaroom and Harp - Dick Schory..interesting and super sound

Cat People - from the motion picture. This is an absolute killer. It was on Absolute Sounds HP list and it certainly belongs there. David Bowie, and Georgio Morodor.

Barry Lyndon - sound track.. Wonderful music recorded at the top of the cutting edge

Almost anything by Andreas Vollenweider and/or Dead Can Dance

The Judds... REALLY recorded open, full and deep. I use this one to test if my system is working as it should.
Absolute #1 of any genre, Prokofieff: Lt. Kije and Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale, Reiner/Chicago.

The original RCA LSC-2150 is a gem and in my top ten along with some of those already mentioned, the Classic re-issue is top 5 but the Chesky re-issue is the best recorded sound I've ever heard. If only Layton and Mohr were still at it today!

The Holy Grail for certain.

If you'd like to hear this rarity you must bring me......
a Shrub.
Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" 180 gram 45 RPM.......As sweet a recording as you will ever hear.
James Newton Howard & Friends, Direct-to-Disc. Issued in 1983 (Sheffield Lab 23). If you happen across a copy pay ANYTHING to own it. This is the absolute pinnacle representation of the art of pre-digital recording.
Cat Steven's "Tea for the Tillerman" has always been a favorite of mine. Also Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" LP.
