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

Supertramp: Crime of the Century (MFSL LP).
When I got back into vinyl 4 yrs ago I bought one of these off eBay for $5. I was so excited until I played it--it was all noisy and crackly. Today I tried a different way of cleaning it (just a bunch of dish detergent, scrubbed with microfiber terry towel, rinsed thoroughly, and dried with another terry towel) and played it again for the first time in 4 years, this time clean and quiet.

Anyway, you're right. This album has *stunning* dynamics. I'm very familiar with this recording, but I was unprepared for where the volume went when "School" got underway after the relatively quiet introduction.

If you guys think that the MFSL "Crime" is a decent LP, you should listen to the MoFi UHQR of the same.

Interesting that many pics are recorded digitally. In fact, even more interesting that some are from very early digital recordings.
So many great ones BUT if i had to pick i could easily say:

ALICE IN CHAINS - MTV UNPLUGGED

Extremely quiet record w/ oodles and oodles of all the stuff i like: dynamics, tight bass, a warm/organic quality. "No Excuses" and "Got Me Wrong" are particularly nice!

I don't have the Mobile Fidelity regular version, but do have the UHQR version. It is definatley one of my best sounding LP's
