John Denver-Greatest Hits Side B
Shirley Bassey-Live At Carnegie Hall Side 3
REO-You Get What You Play For Side 2
Dave Mackay & Lori Bell Sextet-"Take Me To Brazil" Side 2 SQ Audiophile
CSN-Allies Side 2
Anne Murray-New Kind Of Feeling Side 1 SQ*
Humble Pie-Rockin’ The Fillmore Side 4
Barry Manilow-Greatest Hits Side 3
Played 4 "Live" recordings none had Audiophile SQ but REO was closest. Ms. Murray was very close to Audiophile SQ with excellent content from one of the most currently overlooked artists from the 70’s/80’s. The bass on Humble Pie was excellent despite the recording being to closed in. Mackay & Bell is a great $10 jazz album with Audiophile SQ!

Brian, what's the Natalie Merchant album like?
Brian, I streamed it a couple times before purchasing. I like it, but it seemed a bit themeless with a few various styles the first time I listened all the way through vs her other releases. Interesting, that feeling has gone away the more I’ve listened.
The LP is really good, but, after the initial spin, it does sound different from the streaming files. Obviously. There are some things I like much better on the LP, but have to admit, the digital files also have some strengths.
Overall, I like it. It’s Natalie, and as you know, I’m a big fan.

Brian, A few songs popped for me and then there were a few that were very Carole King which didn't gel as much. Nice album all in all. Not sure I'll invest though. Have you heard The Innocence Mission?
