Nicolette Larson/Radioland. Just picked up a clean copy on vinyl the other day and gave it a spin yesterday.Wow what a nice recording, it helps to have Billy Payne and Paul Barreire from Little Feat playing on it and Linda Ronstadt on back up vocals. For decades I never thought much about her, sort of a one hit wonder (Rumba Girl and Lotta Love) but man was I wrong. I have 3 of her albums on vinyl now and holy crap are they well done.
 
I kinda forgot about this thread but I have listened to a ton of top quality recordings recently.
 
I use this one to audition gear. Beethoven Symphony No. 6 Pastoral, Columbia SACD. Yes, there is a fair bit of background hiss, but the tone of the strings and woodwinds are truly excellent.
