Steely Dan-Katy Lied(ABCD 846 KENDUN) Side A SQ* David Carroll-Let’s Dance Again!(SR 60152) Side 1 SQ Audiophile The Monkees-Greatest Hits Side 1 The Rolling Stones-Emotional Rescue Side 2 The New Christy Minstrels- The Quiet Sides Of...Side 1 The Ramsey Lewis Trio-Upendo NI Pamoja Sise 2 SQ* Rosanne Cash-King’s Record Shop Side 1 Boston-ST(Trauggot vs Zentz) Side 1+2 Knocked out 5 unplayed albums! Ramsey Lewis was clearly the best of the unplayed! Allen vs. Wally was close. Zentz had the claimed excessive treble energy but more dynamic/open with better note decay. Traugott was better balanced with deeper bass and tonality but lacking engagment on some tracks when compared to Zentz. Overall I slightly favor the Wally mastering for its tonality but neither are close to Audiophile SQ status. Both copies were VG/VG+ so far from perfect. Maybe the CBS Half/Speed is the definitive version. |

Paul McCartney / S-T Debut album…Apart from occasional contributions by his wife, Linda, McCartney performed the entire album alone by overdubbing on four-track tape. (Wiki) |
Folk Jamboree-VA(CSP 205/Philco) Side 2 Brahms-Arthur Rubinstein The Brahms Collection 4 disc box Side E SQ* Spinners-The Best Of... Side 2 SQ* Scandal-Warrior Side 1 A Winter's Solstice-VA(Windham Hill WH-1045) Side 2 SQ Audiophile Carol Rosenberger-Schubert(Delos DL 15313) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Foghat-Live Side 2 Ernestine Anderson-Big City(CJ 214) Side 2 SQ Audiophile Dusted off 3 more unplayed albums! Brahms was great as expected but that WH 1045 just missed the SQ crown. The Jamboree gets tossed. Concord takes another SQ crown with 5* content. Played Rosenberger since I mentioned her in another thread. Foghat-Live just missed my Top Ten live Pop/Rock 70's list. Falls somewhere between 11-15. |
