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
Album: Curtains
Release: Record COllection
Date: 2005
Recording: It was done in his living room, fully acoustic album. Mastered by Bernie Grundman Hollywood CA.

I’ve got over 600 vinyl albums (and 800 CDs/SACDs) and there are quite a few I think are stunning, but my favorite is:

William Russo, Street Music, Op. 65, A Blues Concerto
San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Corky Siegel/Harmonica, Russo/Piano
Deutsche Grammophon 1977 - 2530 788

Side B is Gershwin’s - An American in Paris which is almost as good as Side A.

The vinyl pressing itself is dead silent. Dynamics are full and non-compressed.
