Wings-London Town Side 2

Judy Collins-Living Side 1

Bach/Scarlatti-Baltazar Benitez(Nonesuch H 71404) Side 2

White Lion-Big Game Side 1

Patti Austin-Body Language Side 1 Audiophile

Only White Lion was previously played. Power quality was an issue tonight, so no near misses SQ*(not sure). Can't award an SQ crown tonight but Patti/Valentin clearly had the best SQ of the 8 recordings. London Town might be 2nd best(in content} of all Wings studio recordings. If you enjoy power/pop don't dismiss Round Trip.

Bach, St John Passion, conducted by Helmuth Rilling.

Today is the 300 year anniversary of its first performance:  Good Friday, 1724 in Leipzig
