Nicolette Larson-In The Nick Of Time Side 1

Steely Dan-The Royal Scam Side B(ABCD-831 "sunburst label") SQ*

Nat King Cole-At The Sands(SMAS 2434) Side 2

Pink Floyd-A Momentary Lapse Of Reason Side 1 SQ*

Tania Maria-Come With Me(CJP-200) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

The Who-Tommy(35MM 0071 Japanese) Side 4 SQ*

Judy Collins-Colors Of The Day Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Frank Morgan-Yardbird Suite Side 2 SQ Audiophile

With 3 Audiophile SQ and 3 SQ*(near misses) makes for a great session. Larson condition was VG+ at best, need a better copy of this overlooked recording. Nat was M- even my Stereo version had a sharp(directional) mono feel. A toss up between Morgan/Collins and Tania Maria. I can't pick a winner due to the power being "lackluster"(not at best). Select all 3 and it's a win/win on sonics/content.

The Joni Mitchell approved/Bernie Grundman mastered early Asylum LP's (after Blue). I can't wait anymore for the MFSL SACD's & Court & Spark 45rpm One-Step. SACD's were paid for back in January (Blue & Ladies of the Canyon).

I don't know how MoFi can improve on these LP's. Looking forward when the SACD's actually ship....not LOL !😡
