If you're not totally sick of the songs yet, Fleetwood Mac's 45 RPM of Rumors is about the best sounding most dynamic pop/rock music I've ever heard.  My Doors 45rpm Morrisson Hotel is really great too, but funky hard panning mix. UHQRs of Aja and Gaucho are pretty great.

I've got about a dozen MoFi's over the past 12 years, and they run hot & cold.  I love some and really unhappy with others.  I can't even say they have a "house sound" as I find their tonal balance to be all over the place.   The Cars Shake It Up is unlistenable!  It's SO boomy and bass heavy!  OTOH, the first two B-52's albums sound great.  Perfect tonal balance for that band.   

I've found IMPEX to be pretty good.  I have several.  And Three Blind Mice has good recordings of Japanese jazz.

 This is a question that cannot be answered. Too many variables across too many subjects. Sorry...

 

A proprietary Audiophile Reference Vinyl Compound™ begins with 99.999999% virgin ultra-long-chain PVC, polymerized under laboratory conditions so precise they require three physicists and a philosopher to verify. The compound is cryogenically stress-relieved, infused with monocrystalline silver nanoparticles for directional electron flow, stabilized with graphene flakes and Himalayan quartz dust, lubricated with synthetic whale-song-compatible molecules, and finished with trace amounts of laboratory-certified unobtainium. Each record is vacuum-aged for 25 years, demagnetized every 30 minutes during pressing, and rinsed in deionized Alpine glacier water. The resulting LP delivers a measured dynamic range of 347 dB, surface noise of -212 dB, bass extending to the Earth’s core, midrange capable of revealing the emotional state of the recording engineer, and treble that captures the sound of photons negotiating with reality. Groove wear is projected to remain inaudible until the heat death of the universe. Retail price: $14,995 per LP, with the optional Cryogenic Quantum Demagnetization Package available for an additional $3,995.
