It got late, too tired to post last night

Mac Davis-Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me Side 1

Schubert's-Greatest Hits(MS 7526) Side 2 SQ*

Jimmy Witherspoon-Spoonful Side 2

Harry & Lena(PRS-295) Side 1

Bobby Short-Celebrates Rodgers & Hart Side 4 SQ*

The Charlie Daniels Band-Simple Man Side 2 SQ*

Johnny Hartman-Today(Perception PLP 30) Side 1 SQ*

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.

 

Georg Solti conducts Beethoven
Symphony No. 9 In D Minor, Op. 125 'Choral'

@noromance

Great selection. I have been listening to that record quite a bit the last few weeks.

Frank Zappa And the Mothers of Invention – One Size Fits All (Discreet 1975)

John Denver-Seasons Of The Heart Side A SQ*

Ian Hunter-You’re Never Alone With A Schizophrenic Side 2

The Concord All Stars(CJ 348) Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Get Dancin’-K-TEL TU 3110 Side 2

Ice Castles-Soundtrack Side 2

Art Garfunkel-Angel Claire Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Grace Slick-Dreams Side A

All 7 recordings have not been previously played. Might have played all my 80’s vinyl with the exception of a few sealed albums. Concord gets the edge over Garfunkel due to a liquid/relaxed flow that many live Japanese recordings possess. If you only want one 1980’s Denver studio recording consider "Seasons". Recently acquired Grace Slick-Dreams a must for Starship or even Airplane fans.
