Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of...


I've been off the 'Gon for quite some time due to fatherhood, and was just perusing old threads. I came across "dissapointing audiophile recording" which got me thinking - by far some of the best LP's in my collection (sonically and performance-wise) are NOT the so-called audiophile issues, but just the opposite, they're ones that are never mentioned anywhere. It's often a complete surprise, and sometimes I know within 10 or 20 seconds of dropping the needle that I've got a really special one. So we're not looking for Jennifer Warnes, Pink Floyd, or even Strunz and Farah here... I'm travelling in Asia for 3 weeks, so I can't list mine very accurately by memory, but I will when I return if this thread picks up any steam.

Well, not really obscure, just maybe forgotten:
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions. Amazing bass.
Tracey Chapman, First album, LP
Dwight Yoakum, hillbilly deluxe, LP
Jesse Cook, Freefall CD
Well maybe you have heard of them but no one references these. Soundstage, sonics and ambiance in spades.
Yes The Blue Nile records are excellent however they do not qualify as Linn records is an audiophile lable, The Blue Nile were Linn records first signing with the purpose of demonstrating Linn's recording capability along with the capability of Linn's audio equipment.
Why dont they qualify?, they ar LP'S and nobody has heard of them.......what is in question here?
Savoy Brown - "Raw Sienna", Parrot Records. Horn section, brilliant engineering and inspired blues/R&B Rock.

David Grisman - The David Grisman Quintet, (Label?).

David Grisman - Hot Dawg, Horizon.

Ed Thigpen - Out of the Storm, Verve. Early 60s jazz with cool drumming

Pretty much anything by Loggins and Messina engineered by Jim Messina, Columbia Records (OK, everybody has heard of these, but I was surprised at the quality after pulling them out of the basement).
