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.

Frogman: I think that you feel there should be more respect shown to this artist. I get it and can appreciate your post above.

Charles Mingus was a mountain of a man with a bad temper who would NOT tolerate being called "Charlie".
If you did or even if he heard you did, ten to one you'd be missing some teeth . Or worse.

Harvest original pressing. This recording defies physics,on some of the songs John Lord's organ and Ian Gillian's voice are so outside my speaker it is in my yard. That's right folks it goes through my wall.
Rick Ocesek / The Other side of Paradise.
