Hard to think of them all, but these 10 spring to mind right now;
Alison Krauss & Union Station - Live
Eric Bibb - Good Stuff
Joan Armatrading - What's Inside
Christine Collister - Live (recorded on the Isle of Man in 94)
JJ Cale – Troubadour
Nick Drake – Five Leaves
Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily
Sarah McLachlan - Mirrorball
Diana Krall - Live in Paris (probably contrary to the populas, but I think this is better than The Girl in the Other Room)
. . . and finally - I feel a bit of a cheat here as I am new to it, so the credit goes to Chris (TGW), but it's not been mentioned so far and it really should be;
Muddy Waters - Folk Singer
"People will hear what you tell them to hear" - Thomas Edison
Bests, Mark
"We must believe in free will. We have no choice" Isaac Bashevis Singer

Talking about truly great recordings, these may not all be your cup of tea, but they very often get an airing in my room - mood dependant :-
NOTE - this is not just the 'standard' cd (which is actually really rather good)
but the LTD edition with DVD. The extra 6 tracks are not 'just' re masters - they almost re-define the art of great mastering and recording in my opinion.
Not all systems (or ears) can handle this - trying to play it on a car stereo is hilarious - especially if it has a boy racer 'sub' in it :-
If you want something really different and stretch your system to the max :-)
& just to show live can actually be done correctly when they want :-)
Kate took one hell of a long time to get this nigh on perfect in the recording:-
I have a preference for the second album of the pair.
Enough for now - plenty more though.

I see I was typing and pulling pics as RM posted!
Please try and get your mitts on this if you can - it really is worth it just for the final 6 tracks - I just love them all!
X Race & Petro oleum can do serious damage - the final track is just Yello at their most sublime - not at all bad for 60+ year olds..
The DVD is fun and is a digital representation of a concert they want to do in Vegas in 2013 (?) Caesars Palace..
If I could get to that, oh boy I would be happy

Clearly apparent what the definition of a superb recording is amongs AOS posters. Total & utter shyte taste in music speaks volumes as it is..
