 The best vinyl is the old vinyl of stuff no one wants anymore. Allen
Organ demo records, soundtracks to forgotten movies, cheesy old people
music. Not this hipster stuff.

Right on, Brett. I like buying early records by obscure artists.
The simply recorded albums from before multitracking and overdubbing
took over can contain superbly realistic recordings; sometimes of
great  performances.Of course you get a lot of dross as well:-(

Sorry guys but the SOTA has advanced in both mixing/mastering
and pressing. Some of the old stuff is great, but IME, none of it is
as quiet (noise free) nor matches the dynamic range of the best
available today.
Now finding what you want may be limited as the catalogues of Classic
and Analogue Productions aren't exactly all encompassing.
