@bslon At that time 1977/8 I was still a kid in middle school listening to Top 40 radio. It was one of a few albums that my older sister and myself both had. It wasn’t until I heard Foghat-Live, Double Live Gonzo ect. when my taste in music changed. FWIW I prefer the smoothness of "Night Fever" over "Stayin’ Alive".

@dayglow Saturday Night Fever, what a great double album. Never being a fan of disco, this got blended in from my wife’s collection and now I’m really glad I have it. Lots of earworms, for sure. You’re probably humming “Stayin’ Alive” right now…😁

Since I have hit the 3 year mark of playing 1 side of every vinyl record in my collection about 150+ albums are left. About 50 are classical/baroque/organ in VG/VG+ condition all thrift store finds including another 50+ Broadway/movie scores/50’, 60’s pop that await a stylus drop. Another 15 box classical/opera sets which I have played at least half. That leaves the miscellaneous and about a dozen sealed albums. In summary it shows how long it takes to play every record even in a mid-sized collection(1800-2000). Now the difficult part deciding what goes and how many multiple copies are kept.

Barbra Joan Streisand-ST Side 1

Saturday Night Fever(Sound Track) Side 1

George Muribus-Trio '77 Side B SQ Audiophile

Giuffria-ST Side 1

Devadip(Carlos Santana)-Oneness Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Eugenia Zuckerman-Music For Flute(Pro Arte PAL-1086) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

ELP-Pictures At An Exhibition Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Renaissance-Azure D'or Side 2

 4/8 with Audiophile SQ makes for an enjoyable listening session. Giuffria(Grundman) and Renaissance were average at best. Tough call between Zuckerman/Muribus and ELP for the SQ crown. I will award the crown to ELP(1st pressing) for the great bass SQ on a rock recording.

Gilels-Live At Carnegie Hall(MHS 824369) Side 2

Renaissance-A Song For All Seasons Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Freddie Jackson-Do Me Again Side 2

Peter Case-Blue Guitar Side 2 SQ*

Earl Bostic-For You(King 503) Side 1

Queen II-Side White

Oscar Peterson Trio-With Respect To Nat(mono)Side 2

David Foster-The Symphony Sessions Side 2 SQ Audiophile

I waited 1 week after Axpona for any playback on my system which was a good cleansing. Nothing sounded below average but the stereo version of Earl Bostic sounded equally mono. Would need to hear Peter Case again to verify possible Audiophile SQ. Foster takes the SQ crown despite sounding more like a CD then vinyl. IMO the content rises above the SQ. Northern Lights what a great song!

 

Joni Mitchell - Songs To A Seagull

Reprise reissue, think early 70’s, originally 1968

The Twilight Sad - Nobody Wants to Be Here But Nobody Wants to Leave.

 

Seeing the Cure on my 50th. Though a fan since the mid 80’s it’s my first time catching them. Twilight Sad is opening.

Natalie Lamb & Sammy Price – And The Blues (G.H.B. 1980)

Barbara Lea – A Woman In Love (Audiophile 1981)

Doc Evans, Knocky Parker, Albert Nicholas, Earl Murphy, Gene Juckem – Reminiscing In Dixieland, Stomps And Blues Vol. 2 (Audiophile 1959)

- The Doc Evans 1959 recording takes the Leonard Cohen digital recording and destroys it. There is no comparison in clarity and tone. 

Leonard Cohen – Ten New Songs  (Columbia 2001)

The Hollies – Distant Light (Epic 1972)

Maxine Sullivan With The Ike Isaacs Quartet — S/T (Audiophile 1981)

Finished cleaning my used record store finds. Someone traded or sold a Herb Alpert collection. So far Lonely Bull and Whipped Cream... Picked up Cibo Matto Stereo Type A; The Boo Radleys Giant Steps, and Herbie Hancock Head Hunters on CD. Finished my night with Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall my Colombia SL-160  (green label) set. Then it was time for bed (no TV).
