Wow moments while listening to vinyl records


Howdy A'goners ....

I got back into listening to vinyl records a couple of years ago. Although I have more CDs or FLAC files than my vinyl records collection at the moment, these days I listen to vinyl albums a lot more than I listen to the CDs or music files.

I am creating a database of songs or even whole albums that give me goosebumps.... that make me say wow this sounds amazing! And I keep repeating to listen to that song again and again. You know what I am talking about. Let me share a couple of songs to start the thread - 
1) Cris Williamson - waterfall
2) Mickey Newbury - an american trilogy

I want to hear from you about your experience. Please share what songs / albums give you the same feeling. It would be great if you describe what particular aspect of the sound or music makes you feel that way. I am not a musician or even a trained listener. I am not an audiophile. So this is going to be my learning experience about various terms like transient, sound stage, cohesive/organic sound etc. only if you share your experience with me. It will also help me to get some of those albums to add to my collection.  

Currently I have two tables - a Denon DP-65F with an Ortofon 2M Black cart, and a Project RPM 9.1 table. I am in the process of choosing a cart for the Project table. I requested feedback on specific carts in another thread.

Please share your experience of songs / albums that create audio nirvana for you :)

Thanks

I have many of the albums mentioned here and agree, if original, well cared for, and clean, they can sound very good, even exceptional.  That said, if you want to take it up a notch, for pure ‘are you kidding me?’ listening pleasure, nothing I’ve heard sounds like mint jazz recordings on original Verve labels.  Even if you don’t prefer jazz, Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, Blossom Deary, Bill Evans, Charlie Byrd, et al, on a nice vinyl rig are worth a listen. 1950’s, 1960’s, even some 1970’s Japanese represses sound phenomenal.  What really separates them from other fine recordings is 1) the clarity and detail, 2) the soundstage - 3 D holographic ‘you are there’ imaging, but more than anything, 3) the explosive dynamics.  
I have many of the records listed above, for the most part agree with 90% of those listed. My nominee is a recent release by Tangerine Dream titles "Quantum Gate"

Bold, powerful, detailed, and pressed with the utmost of care. Probably the best record I have purchased in the past two years. 
Muddy Waters "Folksinger" 45RPM;
Bruce Springsteen "The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle"
(especially "Rosalita"):
Jennifer Warnes "Famous Blue Raincoat" 45RPM Cisco.

Just put on a Columbia 1/2 speed master of "Stardust". My son's comment (an iPhone/earbud kind of guy) was "Yeah, well he's right here with us."
