seeking recommendations for melodic , ear pleasing, and musical sounding LP's?

I have been having trouble finding LPs that sound musical

I listen to all kinds of music and am seeking harmonious and melodic tracks 

The whole LP need not need have this, just a track of two is fine on a decent pressing that can still sound good on higher end resolving systems

As an example, the Eva Cassidy Songbird Album has this for me with a few tracks 

thanks in advance

I've always thought the "Love Over Gold" and "Brothers In Arms" releases by Dire Straits were superb sounding.

Another way to go is to invest in the "The Wonderful Sounds of..." series from Analogue Productions. They have "The Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals," "The Wonderful Sounds of Male Vocals," The Wonderful Sounds of Christmas" and "The Wonderful Sounds of Quality Pressings." On my system, most of these cuts sound, well, wonderful. Rich, beautiful recordings of what I think of as interesting music. I'm sure you will hear many things that you enjoy. And then you can seek out the albums from which those cuts came. 

 

Good luck,

Dire Straits for sure, but also later Steely Dan releases. I'd also check out Miles Davis "Kind of Blue", Charles Mingus "Ah Um", and Return to Forever "Medieval Warrior".
