Classics IV-The Very Best Of Side 1

Scott Hamilton-ST(CJ-42)barcode Side 1

Rod Stewart-Every Picture Tells A Story Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Freddie Hubbard-Super Blue Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Shirley Bassey-In Person Side B

Van Morrison-His Band And The Street Choir(barcode) Side 1

Art Blakey/Messengers-Jazz Corner Vol.2(1972 Blue Note) Side 1 SQ*

Steely Dan-Katy Lied Side 1 SQ*

With the exception of Classics IV and Shirley Bassey the other recordings were above average in SQ. Super Blue had a a very big sound(Bernie Grundman) only surface noise(tape hiss) was a flaw. (I Know) I'm Losing You is a great rock demo song!!! *The 1972(repress) Blue Note captured the "live" Blue Note sound and was very enjoyable. Katy Lied is a tough recording to judge it sounds great and average at the same time! The bass and PRAT are audiophile quality. The problem in my system is a midrange veil and soft treble attack. This is an original 1975 ABC pressing could be system dependent? A Japanese pressing might have more forward mids and upper frequency energy?

@slaw I ordered it from Amazon about 9 days ago and it shipped, from Italy, to my door in about 6 days, kinda surprised me.

The vinyl quality is disappointing 

@dayglow there is a published article by Denny Dias on why Katy Lied sounds like crap because of a glitch in DBX noise reduction system
