Pretty darn nice

Joan Baez-Come From The Shadows Side 1

Bobby Short-Celebrates Rodgers & Hart Side 3

Muddy Waters-"King Bee" Side 1

Rachmaninov-Variations On A Theme Of Corelli(London CS 6822) Side 1

The Phil Woods Quintet-Song For Sisyphus Side A SQ Audiophile

Orleans-Let There Be Music Side 1 SQ Audiophile

ELO-A New World Record Side 1

Roseanne Cash-Seven Year Ache Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Orleans just edges out Phil Woods for the SQ crown. If Roseanne's vocals were a little more laidback the SQ crown was hers. Ms. Baez takes the weakest link SQ crown. I think this was her first recording for A&M?  The 4 other recordings just missed Audiophile Status.

Pete Townshend - "White City: A Novel"

I love this album. No idea if it is/was popular. I bought it back when it was release in 1985 and it's been in semi-regular rotation ever since. Was fortunate to also find a copy of the 12" 45 RPM Single of "Face the Face - Live From the Deep End". I also have a VHS copy of the short move by the same name. The Live version of "Face the Face" is from the movie.

BTW, the movie is available in two parts on YouTube if anyone is interested...

Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, Michael Clarke – Byrds (Asylum 1973)

Sinéad O'Connor – The Lion And The Cobra (Ensign 1987)

Sinéad O'Connor – I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (Ensign 1990)
