This is intended to be an ongoing and updated list of records that not only have wonderful music but marvellous sonics as well. The kind of record you put on the platter and sit back and think wow! This should be a list for those new turntable purchasers who want to impress themselves with their purchase :)

Details are correct as far as we know.

Yello - Flag - 1988 - Mastered by Kevin Metcalfe - Analogue
Simply stunning sound from this release. All of Yello's records are impressive sounding but they really pushed the boat out on this one.

Dead can Dance - Into the Labyrinth - 1993 - - Digital
A gorgeous blend of folk and music from around the world. Also check out 1996's Spiritchaser. DCD always impress mightily with their sound, both on disc and in concert.

Dave Brubeck - Time Out - 1959 - - Analogue
One of the most famous jazz albums. Always sounds gorgeous. I have a Scorpio 180grm pressing which sounds great. Apparently the Classic records reissue sounds better. And if you can get an original in good conditon well...

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue - 1959 - - Analogue
The quintessential Jazz album.

Bryan Ferry - Bete Noire - 1987 - Bob Ludwig - Analogue
Probably the pinnacle of Ferry's experimentation. Again this recoird sounds great and is full of twists and ideas.

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden - 1988 - - Analogue
Essential on any format and mind blowing on vinyl. The timbre and organic depth of the instrumentation is immaculate. Hollis' voice can be a bit scary at times though.
