Kenny Burrell with Coleman Hawkins "Bluesey  Burrell" 

2021/Craft/Analog Productions

Michael Nesmith "Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Stash" 

1973/Pacific Arts/RCA

Foreigner-4 Side 2

Jackie Cain & Roy Kral-One More Rose(Audiophile AP-230) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

The Charlie Daniels Band-Full Moon Side 2

Aretha Franklin-Aretha Side A

Billy Joel-Turnstiles(MoFi-1121) Sides 1/2 SQ*

Joni Mitchell-Court And Spark Side 1 SQ^

Al Green-Greatest Hits(2009 Repress) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Helen Merrill-Something Special... Side 1 SQ*

Only Joni and Joel were previously played as I strive to pass the 90% level of played LP’s in my entire vinyl collection. Shocked by the SQ level of the Al Green repress but still not enough to dethrone Jackie & Roy. "Turnstiles" is such an overlooked Joel recording, second only to his masterpiece "The Stranger". Finally spun Foreigner 4 which might be the last(unsealed) 1980’s Pop/Rock or R&B album played in my vinyl collection.

I've gotten a bit lazy posting albums I played. Rest assured,  the tables are still in use. 

Lana Cantrell - The Now Of Then!
(RCA Victor 1969)

One of my favorite B-pile albums. 

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon, Live At Wembley 1974 (Pink Floyd Records 2023)

Roger Waters - The Lockdown Sessions image (Legacy 2023)

Phoebe Snow-ST Side A SQ Audiophile

Bill Evans Trio-At Shelly’s Manne-Hole(Repress) Side 2 SQ*

Survivor-Vital Signs Side 1

Eric Clapton-Slowhand Side 2

Marty Balin-Balin Side 1 SQ*

Lynyrd Skynyrd-One More From The Road Side 4

The Phil Woods Quartet-Volume One Side B SQ Audiophile

Blue Rodeo-Diamond Mine Side 2 SQ*

All albums have been previously played, lacked time to clean any non-played recordings. No recording had below average SQ. Skynyrd had to be "turned up" due to low recording volume(gain). What a voice Mr. Balin had, it’s unfortunate he only has a few 1980’s recordings. Diamond Mine is another great recording from 1989! Phil Woods takes the SQ crown with a demo level recording.

Bonny Light Horseman "Keep Me on Your Mind" & "See You Free"
