I'm slowly getting back into purchasing vinyl, looking for bargins at places that sell used records. Are there some labels that are more prized or sought after than others ? My family never had a huge LP collection. I'm the only one with a TT these days, so I'm going through the collection ( < 50 albums) at my mother's house and taking home classical works that interest me. She had several recordings on the Everest label from the 60's, along with several from DG, Columbia, and CBS. CBS had created some called "Great Performances". I cleaned one up (Smetana/Dvorak - Szell, Cleveland Orchestra), played it, and thought it sounded pretty darn good for it's age.
