Elvis-Aloha From Hawaii(Quadradisc VPSX-6089) Side 1

Rod Stewart-Camouflage Side 1

Santana-Inner Secrets Side 1 SQ*

Dvorak-Prague Waltzes/Czech Suite(Dorati LDR-71024) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Lisa Stansfield-Affection Side A SQ*

Willie Nelson-Stardust Side 1 SQ*

MJQ 1984-"Echoes" Together Again Side 1 SQ*

Kim Carnes-Mistaken Identity Side 1 SQ Audiophile

With 4 SQ* near misses does NOT imply I was indecisvie, they just fell short of the top 2. Kim Carnes/Doug Sax take the SQ crown. Elvis had the worst SQ. Despite Elvis being on his last leg some magic still exists. IMO Secrets/Camouflage are overlooked with Stardust being over hyped. Willie is at his best with Honky/Tonk or Arlo Guthrie(type) ramblings. FWIW all 8 albums have NOT been previously played as I approach 90% of my vinyl collection played that started in April 2020.
