4 Audiophile SQ recordings shatters my average of < 25% Close call on all 4 for the SQ crown. The award goes to Vocalese which is 1 of the best Jazz Fusion vocal albums of the 80’s and Mirage A Trois could make claim as the best instrumental Fusion Jazz album from the 1980’s despite the tough competition.
Promised some statistical facts...
*514 Pop/Rock 70’s LP’s
*293 Pop/Rock 80’s LP’s
*64 Live Pop/Rock LP’s 70’s
*25 Live Pop/Rock LP’s 80’s
107 Jazz Fusion LP’s 70s-80’s
*Includes R&B NOT Country. Only the 1970’s might have close to 5% of unplayed albums. Only a few compilation (KTEL etc.) have not been played from the 1980’s. Jazz Fusion might have some Gap Mangione/Tim Weisberg and possibly a Pat Metheny(have 9 albums) that are unplayed. Not sure what live albums I have not played but will go over again with specific results. Classical/Country/Easy Listening/Blues/Folk/World/50’s-60’s and Jazz will have an Acoustic and Vocal breakdown.
