There are lots of great albums from some classic artists (i.e Beatles, Miles Davis, etc..) that I could name, but I will give a couple of my non-standard choices, that others might not mention.
I have a Japanesse LP pressing of Neil Young's "Live Rust", that absolutely blows my socks off! It sounds like he is standing in my living room playing his acoustic guitar and blowing on his harmonica, especially on "Powderfinger".
Also, for the younger set, the new Coldplay album "Rush of Blood to the Head" is also a pretty good LP, (at least the UK version is). The piano is recorded very well, really giving a good ambiance to the recording. "Clocks" in particular comes across very nicely. (Nice to know that at least some of the new rock musicians can play their instruments well!)
I also agree that the Satchmo recording is very nicely done. I picked it up as soon as I heard it at the SF Electronics Expo. a few months ago.
