Bruce Hornsby And The Range-The Way It Is Side A
Barry White-Rhapsody In White Side 2 SQ*
Gordon Brisker Quintet-"About Charlie" Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Pat Travers-Makin' Magic Side 1
Harry Chapin-Heads & Tales Side Tales SQ Audiophile
Henri Lazarof-Sinfonietta(LR-133) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Steve Winwood-Back In The High Life Side 1 SQ*
Billy Joel-The Nylon Curtain Side 2 SQ*
With 3 Audiophile and 3 near misses(SQ*) makes for a very special night. Only Hornsby had SQ that diminished the excellent content. Lazarof had possible demo level SQ, would need to spin again but easily takes the SQ crown. Gordon Brisker is another great(overlooked) jazz album with 5* content and sound.

Hi @dayglow
I don’t have the vinyl but how many total tracks are there? On Qobuz and Amazon there’s just 9. Is that the same?
Thanks.
BTW, Great Album!

The just released Kim Gordon's "The Collective", Ozric Tentacles', "Strangetude"(try finding that on vinyl" and the closing scene from "Gotterdammerung "Solti/Vienna from the 1958-65 recording of the complete Ring, that I recently found unopened. The significance of that is that I have only seen a couple of copies in my life that were in a reasonable condition. But, to find the complete set with John Culshaw's hardbound book on the making of it, unopened is a record milestone find, tour de force for me. My Tenor friend who has this on his short great list of operas pretty much defecated in his pants.
