Dee Bell-One By One(CJ 271) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Lambert, Hendricks & Bavan-Basin Street East(LSP-2635) Side 2
Even with only 2 Audiophile SQ recordings the other 5 were very close. Only the Dusty mono version was lacking in SQ. Ms. Bell gets the slight edge over PPM due to having a more analog texture.

Ocean-Put Your Hand In The Hand Side A SQ Audiophile
Dick Haymes-For You, For Me, For Evermore Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Michael Hedges-Aerial Boundaries Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Dokken-Tooth And Nail Side 2
Bruce Springsteen-The River Side 3
Jim Croce-You Don't Mess Around With Jim Side 2
Jefferson Starship-Earth Side B
Toshiko Akiyoshi-Finesse(CJ-69) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
With 4/8 having Audiophile SQ this makes for an enjoyable evening when adding superior content. Only Dokken's SQ hurt the exceptional content. The SQ crown goes to Akiyoshi giving CJ another win. Have not spun Aerial Boundaries in a while, easily makes my Top 50 of all recordings released during the 1980's.

The Cowsills-In Concert(SE-4619) Side 1
Rush-Exit Stage Left Side 4
Molly Hatchet-Double Trouble Live Side 1
Even without any Audiophile SQ recordings the night was not a loss. Only the Dean Martin album suffered with SQ, content was just ok. The Cowsills/Minstrels were better than expected. Slowly playing the 60’s era M- thrift store haul(40 albums) from early this year. Frank/Jack Jones/Ramsey Lewis and Brazil 66 have been the best so far. Ended the night with 2 of the best live Rock/Pop albums of the 1980’s.
