Listening to a bunch of different pressings of Emerson, Lake and Palmer: "Brain Salad Surgery" and "Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends"

BSS pressings include Manticore, US Atlantic, UK Atlantic. Best bass response has been best on the Manticore, but some of the high end seems to be a bit hot, even with fine tuning the VTA
Joe Jackson - "Look Sharp!"
Ella Fitzgerald - "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie"
Cat Power - "Jukebox"
Nick Cave - "Murder Ballads"
Sonny Rollins - "Way Out West"
Albert King - "Blues Power"
