    Beatles In Mono (borrowed the CD set from the library and it was great, have most of the individual LPs and they are excellent)

    White Stripes - Icky Thump X (great value for money with Vault subscription, great music of course)

    Radiohead - OKNOTOK (okay remastering, but filled with goodies)


    Don't have the other 7 as I don't own enough box sets to make a list of 10 quality ones. But can add to the list as time goes on.

    well i had listen to needle drops(even when is not like real vinyl live it sound it great, better than what i had heard in cd and 24 bit) the thing is i had decide to listen only to cd, is more convenient for me, the vinyl so much things to do, and to "work" in the system, i also never real had adapt myselft to vinyl sound even when it sound great, because im born with cd and cassette, so i had decide to go with cd only (most riped cds) :love:

    Even only listing 10, I had to cheat a little.....

    The Beatles In Mono --The mono mixes are so different and interesting, love it!
    Johnny Cash Complete Columbia --The good ratio is extraordinary for so many albums, Still hasn't completely sunk in, still finding new favorites...
    Bob Dylan Tell Tale Signs, Cutting Edge -- I love the entire Dylan Bootleg series, but these 2 are extra special
    The History of Country & Western Music (20CD) -- Perfect companion to the Time Life Country USA CD series, covering up until the early 1950s
    Martha Argerich The Collection 1 The Solo Recordings -- Wonderful, evocative pianist, great essential collection..one of my favorite Chopins
    Monkees Birds/Bees thru Present Deluxe Editions ---they were often making some great + experimental music the world would never hear until decades later
    Can You Dig It? The 70s Soul Experience --A lot of my favorite soul moments from the '70s, plus it looks like I have a collection of 8-tracks;)
    This is Reggae Music (Trojan 4CD) -- If you need just One reggae collection, this will do. Wonderful
    Elvis Presley (Platinum, plus the 3 Decades boxes...) -- The 3 decades boxes are what really got me into Elvis, even though the sound quality has improved greatly over the years, including in the newer Complete Masters set and FTD, but the song selection is a lot of fun on these old sets. Platinum is an extraordinary collection of alternates.
    Bing Crosby His Legendary Years -- The Bing I love the most, the peak of his vocals, great song selection. If you only need one Bing set....

    But wait, there's more....Beach Boys Smile, Decca Sound The Analogue Years, Led Zeppelin, What It Is! Funk, Claude Frank Beethoven: The Piano Sonatas, Sons of the Pioneers, Paul Simon, Coltrane, Hank Williams, Gainsbourg, etc....:shrug:
