Rush-Moving Pictures Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway-ST Side 2 SQ*

Rod Stewart-Absolutely Live Side 3

Jefferson Starship-Dragon Fly Side A

Ratt-Invasion Of Your Privacy Side 1 SQ*

Cheap Trick-At Budokan Side 2

The Robert Cray Band-False Accusations Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Paul McCartney & Wings-Band On The Run Side 1 SQ*

With 2 Audiophile SQ recordings and 3 near misses beats the odds!  I would give the SQ edge to Rush due to dynamics and clean bass. FWIW all 8 recordings make my Top 100 for the decade. Shocked how Flack/Hathaway never makes the generic Top 100 1970's best albums list?  Rush places highest on my 80's list while Starship tops the 70's.
