Out Of The Blue-Inside Track Side 1 SQ*

Carley Simon-Boys In The Trees Side 2 SQ*

The Judds-Greatest Hits Side B

The Brothers Johnson-Blast Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Wynton Marsalis-Levee Low Moan Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Tanita Tikaram-Ancient Heart Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Sting-The Dream Of The Blue Turtles Side 2 SQ*

Cat Stevens-Foreigner Side 2 SQ*

Great night for SQ 3 Audiophile and 4 near misses. The Judds is a very solid SQ recording but finished last in a very strong SQ night Close race between all 3 Audiophile recordings but Blast(Sax/Reece) has an organic edge. Both Sting/Tikaram are easily Top 50 recordings of the 1980's. Foreigner is an overlooked "Cat" recording that might be his 3rd best behind Teaser/Tillerman.

Django Reinhardt Et Le Quintette - Du Hot Club De France – Django Reinhart (Barclay 1969)

Rhiannon Giddens With Francesco Turrisi – There Is No Other (Nonesuch 2019 )

Recommended.

PSA: My local record store - Plaid Room Records is having a huge summer weekend sale. 15% off everything, plus a large selection or records at 55%, 40%, 25% and 10% off, plus you get the 15% off everything in your cart on top of those discounts. 

I took a quick look and saw some pretty good stuff, especially in the 10% and 25% sections.

So, here's a good chance to stock up and support a some really nice folks who run a great brick and Mortar shop in Loveland, Ohio (Cincinnati) as well as having a fantastic on-line business.
