Sybarite5 “Collective Wisdom” and Prefab Sprout’s “I Trawl the Megahertz”.
Prior experience and a good review in The New Yorker led me to the former, which I shared with a friend who writes for Stereophile.
His response was, “Well, if you like that, try this”, which was my introduction to Prefab Sprout.

The Monty Alexander Quintet-Ivory & Steel(CJP-124) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Jackson 5-Victory Side 1
Kiss-Alive II Side 3
Joe Sample-Carmel Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Tom Petty/Heartbreakers-"Damn The Torpedoes" Side 1 SQ*
Sammy Hagar-Standing Hampton Side 1
Eagles-ST Side 1 SQ*
Donna Fargo-My Second Album Side 1
With 2 Audiophile SQ recordings and 2 near misses(SQ*) makes for an average SQ night. Only Ms. Fargo had average(at best)SQ that sounded like it was recorded for AM radio. "Carmel" takes the SQ crown having a very wide and open soundstage.

Sibelius-Karelia/Ormandy(RCA ARL 1-2613) Side B SQ Audiophile
Van Halen-II(Bellman pressing) Side 1
Captain & Tennille-Love Will Keep Us Together Side 1
With only 1 Audiophile SQ recording and 3 near misses makes for an underperforming SQ night. The VH Bellman press lacks the bite of the OP, but still a solid repress. Have 4 Captain/Tennille pressings and all 4 sound different(lol). This one is pristine-Jacket/Vinyl but not the best SQ. Manfred Mann's Earth Band has to be the most overlooked top level "Prog" band of the 1970's.
