Wikipedia - The 
Liber Usualis is a book of commonly used Gregorian chants in the Catholic tradition, compiled by the monks of the Abbey of Solesmes in France. According to Willi Apel, the chants in the Liber Usualis originated in the 11th century.

The first Gregorian chant record I ever bought was recorded at Solesmes. I was 16 and bought it at Tower Records in San Francisco with my own work money. I thought Gregorian chant was weird on the first listen. By the second or third listen, my ear had inexplicably developed.

Without my knowing, the record placed the first step toward vocation, which developed a year later. These things lay deep. I have never visited Solesmes or Fontgombault!

As I told Jacob (24), companionship with Jesus and men who understand this is long-term and unchanging.

I cherish my 1960 Liber Usualis.

I'd like to get a pre-1955 for Holy Week, but they're out of my price range. For example:
