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
The pressing is very quiet but it’s yellow, impossible to see the track breaks. The SQ is much better than my OP, really enjoyable…as is the music. It’s worth owning.
You’ve been playing a lot of records, your amps must be sounding their best by now. Life is good Brother!
Elvis-Aloha From Hawaii(Quadradisc VPSX-6089) Side 1
Rod Stewart-Camouflage Side 1
Santana-Inner Secrets Side 1 SQ*
Dvorak-Prague Waltzes/Czech Suite(Dorati LDR-71024) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Lisa Stansfield-Affection Side A SQ*
Willie Nelson-Stardust Side 1 SQ*
MJQ 1984-"Echoes" Together Again Side 1 SQ*
Kim Carnes-Mistaken Identity Side 1 SQ Audiophile
With 4 SQ* near misses does NOT imply I was indecisvie, they just fell short of the top 2. Kim Carnes/Doug Sax take the SQ crown. Elvis had the worst SQ. Despite Elvis being on his last leg some magic still exists. IMO Secrets/Camouflage are overlooked with Stardust being over hyped. Willie is at his best with Honky/Tonk or Arlo Guthrie(type) ramblings. FWIW all 8 albums have NOT been previously played as I approach 90% of my vinyl collection played that started in April 2020.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet-Newport 1958(CS 8082/6 Eye) Side 1
Head East-Flat As A Pancake(A&M SP-4537) Side 1
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils-The Car Over The Lake,,, Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Bob Seger-Like A Rock-Side 1
Not a landmark night for SQ but even Krokus was very solid for hard rock. FYI all 8 albums have NOT been previously played. Two great Jefferson Starship songs Stranger/Save Your Love justify space on your record shelf. Gross/Head East Lp’s are very deep in content.
