Extraordinary recordings on vinyl


You've most likely heard or read of MF's +10 (on his 1-10) scale of rating music, both sonically and for content...

What are your favorite recordings (on vinyl) that tip the scale over 10?

Here's my first one... Steve Phillips "Steel-Rail Blues"

This lp is pure as the driven snow, not an unpure note to be found.

First three that came to mind:

Bartok "Concerto For Orchestra" Solti/LSO - Decca-Kenneth Wilkinson eng.

I like Oliver Nelson mentioned by Frogman. Material + sound make this album one of the most desirable by any jazz collector.
I've written about this elsewhere... Frazey Ford "Obadiah".

Slightly bass heavy but otherwise great!
Albertporter: My copy is a "Linn Seleckt", from back in the day. (Don't know if that makes a difference).

Janis Joplin "I've Got dem O'l Kozmic Blues Again Mama" Speakers Corner, Sonny Boy Williamson "Keep it to Ourselves" QRP.
