I've acquired 6 now plus some reissues.
Cosmic Scene is probably the favorite for me.
NOT the Definitive Audiophile pressing, but the really, really nice pressing thread.

Clean and loud pressing. Some of the best bass on vinyl. All on the original release and cheap.

Hot rock band backing a great lounge lizzard of a singer in 1985. Some really good tunes here in very good sound.

I just picked up the japanese pressing of this about a month ago and it’s pretty great too. Loved this record as a teenager… it’s all over the place and lots of fun. Everyone knows Addicted To Love but his cover of I didn’t mean to turn you on is the real big draw on here IMO.

Want a quick trip to Hawaii? Find a clean copy of this album and you are there. Not very common but if you see it grab it and put on some suntan lotion. 
The music is mellow but energetic and sounds very good.

I didn’t expect this, but I picked up the 10th anniversary edition of Daft Punk’s Random Access Memory and wow, the original 2013 pressing was good but this an obvious improvement sonically. First, it’s a really quiet pressing - the original was kind of poppy with some background noise. But mainly the highs are really crisp, like a veil was lifted. My copy is flat flat too. From Optimal as far as I can tell.
Anyway, I’m a fan so I doubled up. But I won’t keep the 2013. If anybody is ever looking for a copy, the 10th anniversary is the way to go in terms of audio.

I concur that the new release sounds really good - although I don't have any other pressing to compare it to. And while it does re-use the old Optimal job code, it doesn't look to be a repressing of any previous release. Looks to be a totally new cut compared to previous pressings that use that number.
Just go find this album now! If you like to shake it, not break it, this album will take you there. Like Steve Martin’s banjo, this recording will put a smile on your face. My copy is a cutout I’ve had since 1974 and it’s a first pressing mastered by Bob Ludwig. Yes, it sounds great. 
This is almost a Definitive Audiophile quality album. Most definitely has the power to lift you out of your seat. Renaissance - Novella
