Here's 100 recommended all-analog LP reissues worth owning. The video runs two hours so unless you are masochistic, you might want to watch in shorter segments but covering 100 LPs took time! Plus there are the usual fun stories interspersed throughout. Okay, I got wrong the The Who's "Tommy"'s original issue date (I said November '68, was May '69) otherwise all of the information should be correct. Yes, too many superlatives, but that’s video!

Note: A reader informs that the Uncle Meat is not AAA. Sorry. Also while I thought the stereo Axis: Bold As Love UHQR was sold out, it is not. There are still some copies left. Had I know, it would have been on this list. Also, The Nat King Cole Story box is MIA on the video.
