It was not planned but it turned out to be a 1980’s playback night. All the recordings were above average in SQ with Night Ranger being the weakest. Ratt was a surprise just missing Audiophile status mainly due to the VG+ condition. A near mint copy should qualify. The SQ champ was Uh-Huh a digital recording but it avoided the vocals having a sharp edge to them. Bennett/Van Shelton had that slight digital edge on vocals. Ronstadt was recorded with the JVC 3M system(Doug Sax) but it had a somewhat "hazy" recessed vocal presentation. Not what you expect on a Linda Ronstadt recording.
