this one reminds me of Brothers In Arms...which came first ? hmmm..
And it isn't just the one tone either, it's a whole pallette of great LP tones.

Peter Green- The Boston Tea Party stuff shows the full scope of what old school players could coax out of a Lester by riding tone and volume pots
Danny Kirwan
Gary Moore
John Sykes
Billy Duffy
Mick Ronson
Steve Clark
JDB
Jimmy Page
John Squire
John McLaughlin on the first Mahavishnu record
Stuart Adamson when he used one. IIRC he had a tasty Les Paul 25/50 model at one point
I would say Jeff Beck, but though there's a ton of great tones on Blow by Blow I can never tell which is a straight Gib and what's the Tele-Gib
Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits
this has to be up there, although the main reason I usually watch this is to drool at the amazing backline. How much gear do they really need to play 5 songs in a TV studio?
Anything and everything off the Fire and Water album.
Again an absolute masterclass in going straight into an amp
I'm not for a moment going all luddite and saying old is best, but for otherwise unadorned tone this is a benchmark album for me.
Alright Now- heavy OD
Fire and Water- Crunch OD
Oh I Wept- gorgeous simplicity.
Heavy Load- one of the great clean tones in British recorded history to date. Hank Marvin/ Peter Green quality.
A four bar solo that is as good as it gets in any genre of improvisation.
