For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
Aretha Franklin-I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You Side 1
Aerosmith-Night In The Ruts Side 1
Kiri Te Kanawa-Mozart Exsultate Jubilate Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Rodney Crowell-Keys To The Highway Side 1
Crowbar-The Serpent Only Lies Side 3
Tony Bennett-The Art Of Excellence Side 1 SQ Audiophile
The Alan Parsons Project-I Robot Side 1 SQ Audiophile
I Robot was the easy SQ winner! Solid Aretha LP not just for "Respect". Aerosmith and Crowbar are very good SQ recordings and excellent for genre(NOT the gear but the recording is dictating hard rock/metal SQ) Eagles "Nights" might be the pinnacle?
Deep Purple-Made In Japan(WB shield no barcode) Side 1
Dick Haymes-For You, For Me, For Evermore Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Bob Dylan-Bringing It All Back Home(2021 repress) Side 1
Boz Scaggs-Slow Dancer(2nd cover bar code) Side 1
Rush-2112 Side B
Gordon Lightfoot-Endless Wire Side 1
With only 1 recording receiving Audiophile SQ the night was NOT a loss. All recordings were very good to near miss Audiophile SQ. Purple was near Audiophile SQ wonder if the OP has much better SQ? My only vinyl Dylan recording was a solid repress paid $5 at an estate sale. Lacy a very overlooked 80’s progressive country artist with a very strong 1989 release.
reissue 1978, originally 1976. John Cale produced the bulk of this sole LP released as ‘The Modern Lovers’….later, Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers.
Roger Waters and the Bleeding Hearts Band – When The Wind Blows (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Virgin 1987)
Side 2. Harrowing stuff. All sides need to disband their militaries if we are to survive. Remember, the militaries will ultimately kill your children. Genius movie and this is classic RW downer sh1t.
