I think the concept of this thread is pretty cool... sharing a great variety of music that member's are enjoying on their tables.  It's great to even see the pictures of the record sleeve!

I was wondering if I could make a suggestion....

In addition to showing the pic of the sleeve, would it be possible for you to add a comment as to the sound quality of that particular pressing.  That added information could really inspire some of to search out a copy to add to our collections or could save us by not searching it if you felt the pressing/sound quality wasn't desirable.

Just a thought...

Thank you and best wishes to all,

Don

Every recording had above average SQ. Priest might have had the worst SQ tonight but not bad for metal or so-called live recording. My Living Presence is a VG garage sale find but still shows its potential despite all the wear and tear takes the SQ crown.  @no_regrets  I always post SQ comments but rarely get to specific due to all systems are different.
