Best Record You Have Ever heard


Thought I would start this thread for all you vinyl lovers out there.

The rules are simple:
1. Only post one album, the absolute best you have heard.
2. It must be something you have heard on VINYL.
3. Both the recording AND musical content must be impeccable
and I do mean BOTH!
4. Try to be as specific as possible i.e/ version, year, re-issue, original, 45RM,direct to disc, half speed mastered etc...

Here is mine.

Artist: John Frusciante

Artist: Art Pepper
Title: Art Pepper Plus Eleven
Original was on Contemporary, around 1959
Latest version I have is on two 12" 45RPM
Amazing fidelity.
This is a confusing question, the best record that I have ever heard is the Tape Project's open reel tape of Oistakh and the LSO performing Hindemith. A record being any recording of a performance. Though for some reason those who seem to enjoy vinyl have the opionion that it somehow refers exclusively to that medium.

For vinyl I think that I would take the Gilberto side of the LP "Getz/Gilberto 2" on Verve or perhaps a Bernie Grundman first pressing of Joni Mitchell's "Blue".
