Barbara McNair-Here I Am(Motown 644 Stereo) Side 2

Bee Gees-Main Course Side 1 SQ*

Giuffria-Silk + Steel Side Silk(1)

Branford Marsalis-Renaissance Side 1 SQ*

Vikki Carr-The Golden Songbook Side 3

Ravel-Karajan Conducts(Angel S-36839) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Bebop And Beyond(CJ 244) Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Cleo Laine/John Williams-Best Friends Side B SQ Audiophile

Played last night only Giuffria/Bee Gees were previously played. All 3(SQ Audiophile) recordings were very close in SQ but I will give the award to "Best Friends" since it's a vocal recording.
