Bruce Hornsby & The Range-Scenes From The Southside Side 2
The Moody Blues-Seventh Sojourn(Barcode) Side 1
Dan Fogelberg-Captured Angel(Barcode) Side 1
Very difficult to pick the best SQ tonight, therefore no Audiophile SQ status was awarded tonight. All recordings were near Audiophile SQ with the exception of House Of Lords.
I listen as an hommage to Lewis Thomas. His collected essays, Late Night Thoughts on Listening to Mahler's 9th Symphony has shaped my thinking on our relationships to the biological world.
Mott The Hoople / All The Young Dudes
1972 Columbia
Great content, sonics. Bowie on sax. Nice version of “Ready For Love”, later fine tuned by writer Mick Ralphs after he left Mott and founded Bad Company.
Ravel-Bolero/Ma Mere L'oye(Mercury SR-90005) Side 1+2 SQ Audiophile
Dan Fogelberg-The Innocent Age Side 2
Judas Priest-Unleashed In The East Side 2
Ricky Skaggs-Comin' Home To Stay Side 1
Tanita Tikaram-Ancient Heart Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Joe Williams-Live Side 1
Sister Sledge-We Are Family Side 2
Every recording had above average SQ. Priest might have had the worst SQ tonight but not bad for metal or so-called live recording. My Living Presence is a VG garage sale find but still shows its potential despite all the wear and tear takes the SQ crown. @no_regrets I always post SQ comments but rarely get to specific due to all systems are different.
I think the concept of this thread is pretty cool... sharing a great variety of music that member's are enjoying on their tables. It's great to even see the pictures of the record sleeve!
I was wondering if I could make a suggestion....
In addition to showing the pic of the sleeve, would it be possible for you to add a comment as to the sound quality of that particular pressing. That added information could really inspire some of to search out a copy to add to our collections or could save us by not searching it if you felt the pressing/sound quality wasn't desirable.
