Anita Baker-Giving You The Best That I Got Side 2 SQ*

South Pacific-Kanawa/Carreras(SM 42205) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Malo-Dos Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Jackie Cain And Roy Kral-Concerts by the Sea Side B SQ Audiophile

With 3 Audiophile SQ and 3 SQ*(near miss) makes for a well above average SQ night. With 4 unolayed discs Malo 2 was the standout  Hush is a very solid Carpenter album that might get overlooked, Kanawa/Carreas make the cut but Fieldler has to go! Very tough Audiophile crown pick since none are demo level. The all digital South Pacific takes the crown due to its balance. With 4 unplayed LP's tonight brings my played total to 13 this year with about 75? left. Would like to close out this project by late April. 

So there’s a a 50th anniversary release of Badfinger’s Head First album.  It was out  12/13/2024 and I can’t find it anywhere. All sources are out of stock and it’s not on any of the streaming services. 
 

Anyone hear what’s going on?

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware of it.

Melissa Manchester-Melissa Side 2 SQ Audiophile

M.A.R.S(Tony MacAlpine)-Project Driver Side 2

Emmylou Harris-Angel Band Side 2

All albums have been previously played, did not feel like cleaning any vinyl. Getz takes the SQ crown with very fine playing along with Lou Levy. Disappointed with the Warnes SQ might be my copy or a rare miss by Grundman? Harris and MacAlpine had a harsh digital edge(less with Harris) which compromised both recordings with a high level of content.
