Just got back from a vacation in Kentucky, Tennessee, & Alabama. I scored 20 new-to-me records. They are all cleaned now and I'm loving new to me music from:

Yes - Time and a Word
Meatloaf - Dead Ringer
Kerry Livgren - Seeds of Change
Steve Walsh - Streets 1st

So many more for tomorrow! Chris Rea, Chris de Burg, Steve Howe, Night Ranger, Deep Purple, Kinks, Heart and more. 

Kansas-Point Of Know Return Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Thema Houston-Any Way You Like It Side 1 SQ Audiophile

The Kendalls-Heart Of The Matter Side B

David Amram-Havana/New York Side 1

Mary Travers- Mary Side 2 SQ*

The Who-The Who By Numbers(barcode 1980 pressing) Side 1 SQ*

Bob James-One Side B SQ Audiophile

Olivia Newton-John-Let Me Be There Side 1

After playing Jann Arden-Living Under June(1994) which has a very strong 70's vibe I decided to play various genres of 1970's recordings. Only the Kendalls disappointed in content and SQ. Will need to play Travers/Who again to determine Audiophile SQ. Bob James clearly takes the SQ crown and might has demo disc credibility.

Tonighf we listened to Gerry Mulligan Quartet  - Dragonfly on the Telarc Jazz label.  Always great recordings.  Followed that up with Johnny Adams - Walking on a Tightrope.
