Name a couple of HOLY GRAIL LPs

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.

Just about any Frank Sinatra record on Reprise records. He always had the best of everything...musicians, engineers, etc. Those recordings were always pristine.

Same thing with Sammy Davis Jr. on Reprise.
