For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
Elvis-Aloha From Hawaii(Quadradisc VPSX-6089) Side 1
Rod Stewart-Camouflage Side 1
Santana-Inner Secrets Side 1 SQ*
Dvorak-Prague Waltzes/Czech Suite(Dorati LDR-71024) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Lisa Stansfield-Affection Side A SQ*
Willie Nelson-Stardust Side 1 SQ*
MJQ 1984-"Echoes" Together Again Side 1 SQ*
Kim Carnes-Mistaken Identity Side 1 SQ Audiophile
With 4 SQ* near misses does NOT imply I was indecisvie, they just fell short of the top 2. Kim Carnes/Doug Sax take the SQ crown. Elvis had the worst SQ. Despite Elvis being on his last leg some magic still exists. IMO Secrets/Camouflage are overlooked with Stardust being over hyped. Willie is at his best with Honky/Tonk or Arlo Guthrie(type) ramblings. FWIW all 8 albums have NOT been previously played as I approach 90% of my vinyl collection played that started in April 2020.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet-Newport 1958(CS 8082/6 Eye) Side 1
Head East-Flat As A Pancake(A&M SP-4537) Side 1
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils-The Car Over The Lake,,, Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Bob Seger-Like A Rock-Side 1
Not a landmark night for SQ but even Krokus was very solid for hard rock. FYI all 8 albums have NOT been previously played. Two great Jefferson Starship songs Stranger/Save Your Love justify space on your record shelf. Gross/Head East Lp’s are very deep in content.
