New To Vinyl... Seeking Recomendations

good day,

i am brand new to vinyl, having just received my first turntable - Original Oracle Delphi, Papier Triplanar tonearm, Talisman Virtuoso cartridge.

I've done a considerable amount of reading on how best to care for records and think i have a handle on that, and now was hoping to get a few recommendations on recordings that REALLY show off the virtues of viyl.

After some browsing around the 'best of' threads here, there seems to be some often recommended albums, such as:

Louis Armstromg St. James Infirmary, Classic Records, 45 rpm
Jazz At The Pawnshop (i have this cd and LOVE it, so am looking forward to hearing it on vinyl)
Allison Krauss and Union Station Live (again, another of my favorite CDs)

Any other suggestions would be appreciated... the goal is to queue up a few great records and be able to demonstrate to my wife why all this extra gear is now finding a home in our living room!

many thanks,
Scott

If you enjoy classic jazz of the 1950s and early 1960s, be sure to look at the 45 rpm Blue Note reissues by Music Matters and by Analogue Productions. Also look at the Fantasy Jazz 45 rpm reissues from Analogue Productions.

I'm among many people with a high regard for the Eva Cassidy "Songbird" LP that is now out of print but still available from some of the online mail order sources.
