Ravel-Alcyone(Mariana Nicolesco) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Asia-Astra Side 1
All 8 recordings have not been previously played. The SQ crown goes to Ravel. Layla had well below average SQ, hope the OP or Japanese pressing is much superior. All 3 1980's Asia recordings are exceptional in content.

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.
