@curiousjim

Agreed, probably my favorite Paul solo effort. His first was a bit quirky but understand given the time it was released. Was not a big fan of the whole Wings era of Paul.

Journey-Departure Side 1

Joe Williams-I Just Want To Sing(Delos 4004) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

The Four Temperaments/Carol Rosenberger(Delos 25440) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Robbin Thompson-ST Side 1

The Beatles-Abbey Road(1969 LA Pressing) Side 1

Miriam Makeba-Sangoma Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Lee Ritenour-RIT/2 Side 2

The 2 Delos recordings had the best SQ. I will give the SQ crown to Ms. Rosenberger, another great budget bin recording! Journey and The Beatles battle for worst but acceptable SQ. Don Rader had great content and near Audiophile SQ* worth seeking if you're a true jazz fan.

Darol Anger/Barbara Higbie-Tideline Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Nothing had below average SQ. With the Eurythmics having an excessive sharp edge helps secure last SQ place. Will give the SQ crown to John Bunch(Famous Door HL-107) Russ Ballard better(content/SQ) than many "popular" rock albums at the time now resides in the budget bins. Ms. Carter deserved a Grammy win for this exceptional recording.
