I've gotten a bit lazy posting albums I played. Rest assured, the tables are still in use.
Foreigner-4 Side 2 Jackie Cain & Roy Kral-One More Rose(Audiophile AP-230) Side 1 SQ Audiophile The Charlie Daniels Band-Full Moon Side 2 Aretha Franklin-Aretha Side A Billy Joel-Turnstiles(MoFi-1121) Sides 1/2 SQ* Joni Mitchell-Court And Spark Side 1 SQ^ Al Green-Greatest Hits(2009 Repress) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Helen Merrill-Something Special... Side 1 SQ* Only Joni and Joel were previously played as I strive to pass the 90% level of played LP’s in my entire vinyl collection. Shocked by the SQ level of the Al Green repress but still not enough to dethrone Jackie & Roy. "Turnstiles" is such an overlooked Joel recording, second only to his masterpiece "The Stranger". Finally spun Foreigner 4 which might be the last(unsealed) 1980’s Pop/Rock or R&B album played in my vinyl collection. |
the pastels, train truck tractor--don't know how this one got past me. it's a great freakin song. eliza gilykson, is it like today--i'm not a huge fan of hers, but she crushes this world party oldie tommy keene, love is a dangerous thing--for my money, he's the best guitarist in the power pop world, and this is probably his finest |
Shaun Cassidy-Born Late Side 1 The Beatles-Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band(SMAS 2653) Side 2 SQ* Millie Jackson-The Tide Is Turning Side 1 SQ* Journey-Evolution Side 1 Charnett Moffett- Net Man Side 1 SQ Audiophile Cry Before Dawn-Crimes Of Conscience Side 1 Herb Alpert-Fly With Me Side A SQ* The J. Giles Band-Bloodshot(OP Red Vinyl) Side 1 SQ* Power quality was top notch tonight. My SQ grading might have been tough tonight but all 4 SQ*(near misses) are a solid level below Net Man in SQ. Cassidy was my wife's first LP(her copy) so I finally spun it, better than expected. J. Giles Band might be the most overlooked AOR band of the 1970's. Bloodshot is easily in my Top 100 Pop/Rock albums of the 1970's but never makes any of the critics/experts lists. Millie Jackson is better without the vulgarity! |
@slaw Jon Butcher released 5 albums during the 1980’s, 2 for Polydor and 3 on Capitol. "Pictures From The Front"-1989 is at least the equal of his best seller "Wishes"-1987. Anyone that appreciates well crafted AOR/Arena Rock should not be disappointed. |
@dayglow, I have two or three Jon Butcher lps. Been a while since I listened. |
Van Morrison-Beautiful Vision-Side 2 Jon Butcher-Pictures From The Front Side 1 Rosemary Clooney-Here’s To My Lady(CJ 81) Side 2 SQ* Jackie And Roy-In The Spotlight(ABCS-267) Side 1 SQ* Walt Wagner-ST Side 1 SQ Audiophile George Adams-Nightingale Side 1 SQ* Molly Hatchet- Beatin’ The Odds Side 1 Bob James-Ivory Coast Side 2 SQ Audiophile Only Hatchet and Morrison have been previously played. With 5/8 having above average SQ makes for a good night. Ivory Coast gets the SQ crown
