Barry Manilow-Greatest Hits Side 2
Anita Baker-Rapture Side 2 SQ*
Uriah Heep-ST Side 1
The Moody Blues-Days Of Future Passed Side 2
Three Dog Night-Around The Word With...Side B SQ*
Played "Days" in tribute to Mike Pinder. Since collecting vinyl around 2010 Uriah/TDN and The Moody Blues have become favorite 1970's acts that were relatively unknown(to me) before collecting. What a great version of "Liar". Wynton is superb as usual and Marcus Robert's playing is sublime on tonight's SQ winner.

The Yellow Jackets-Mirage A Trois Side 2 SQ*
Rosanne Cash-Rhythm & Romance Side 2

Megadeth-The Sick The Dying And The Dead! Side 3
Mac Davis-I Believe In Music Side 1
Noel Paul Stookey-One Night Stand Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Haydn-Edith Mathis(Philips 9500 929) Siode 1 SQ Audiophile
The Manhattan Transfer-Vocalese Side 1 SQ Audiophile
4 Audiophile SQ recordings shatters my average of < 25% Close call on all 4 for the SQ crown. The award goes to Vocalese which is 1 of the best Jazz Fusion vocal albums of the 80’s and Mirage A Trois could make claim as the best instrumental Fusion Jazz album from the 1980’s despite the tough competition.
Promised some statistical facts...
*514 Pop/Rock 70’s LP’s
*293 Pop/Rock 80’s LP’s
*64 Live Pop/Rock LP’s 70’s
*25 Live Pop/Rock LP’s 80’s
107 Jazz Fusion LP’s 70s-80’s
*Includes R&B NOT Country. Only the 1970’s might have close to 5% of unplayed albums. Only a few compilation (KTEL etc.) have not been played from the 1980’s. Jazz Fusion might have some Gap Mangione/Tim Weisberg and possibly a Pat Metheny(have 9 albums) that are unplayed. Not sure what live albums I have not played but will go over again with specific results. Classical/Country/Easy Listening/Blues/Folk/World/50’s-60’s and Jazz will have an Acoustic and Vocal breakdown.

Television "Live at The Academy NYC"

I love threads like this, though to be honest, I wonder how much anyone actually reads what everyone is listening to. But I will happily take my turn, in part because I haven’t been using my newly restored Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4004 turntable very much and since I paid quite a lot to have it restored I’ve been feeling very guilty not to be using it. I confess I am very spoiled by the ease of streaming.
This is what I chose to play. I can’t seem to find a way to use the album photo from my iPad’s Photo Library, so here is the URL:
I had forgotten how much I really enjoyed flamenco so it was a real treat listening to The World of Flamenco featuring Los Romeros. I played all four sides and enjoyed it so much I tried to find it in a CD version. It turned out to be part of a 10 CD boxed set remastered by Decca and released in late 2023. I hated to spend $85 to buy it but I liked it that much. Now it’ll be fun to compare how the vinyl sounds compared to my ripped version. My experience so far is that I can’t really tell the difference unless I hear a pop. But back to my vinyl experience - It was great! I have to try to do this much more often. I have around 1000 LPs so I ought to play them!

Only Charlie/Mac have been previously played. One of the few times a set list lacked an Audiophile recording. The last 3 albums sounded best maybe the system and power quality kicked in. I will give the edge to Simple Man one of the best(content) from Charlie Daniels. Have hit the 4 year mark of playing my entire vinyl collection. My next post(s) will have a breakdown of some hopefully interesting statistics.
