Lucifer's Friend s/t is a great call-- the original German Philips is worth the price compared to any reissue I've heard.
I'd throw in Spirit's Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus-- a relatively well known album in its day that is all but forgotten now.
I'd also recommend Cressida's second album on Vertigo, Asylum, but that one is gonna cost.
Jazz- Ken Golden turned me on to "Marchin' On" by the Heath Bros on Strata East. In the vein of spiritual jazz, but eclectic- the Smilin' Billy Suite features a bass viol- has overtones of classical.
Classical- I'll get back to you. One of my stand by records for many years was the Martinon Paris Conservatory Orchestra- Decca SXL 2252, but reissued many times. Lot's of drama and a little offbeat.
