but, who cares, right? ;-0As long as we're talking record labels, I would not agree entirely with your choices.
No question that the Columbia pressings suck -- too bad, considering the quality of the performers. However, the RCAs do not uniformly suck and, in fact, the Red Seals are pretty good. Same for the Angels. Avoid any of the "dynagrooves" however.
On your "good" list, I would note that DGG recordings seem uniformly thin -- not much bass; lots of treble. These really do call for application of the classic tone controls, if your preamp has them. And they've always sounded that way to me . . . for 30+ years on a variety of 'tables, with different phono stages, cartridges, etc. That said, re-equalized to favor the bass, they're fine . . . unlike the Columbias, which are simply beyond salvation.
I concur with your positive assessment of the Phillips, Decca and EMIs.
