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".
