Kate Wolf & The Wildwood Flower – Lines On The Paper (Owl 1977)
Died at 44 from leukemia. Why do the nicest folks die young when so many evil ones persist? 😔
Joe Williams-Live Side 2 SQ Audiophile Aerosmith-Get Your Wings Side 2 Rod Stewart-Greatest Hits Side 1 Mozart-Otto Klemperer(Angel 36129) Side 2 SQ Audiophile Allison Moorer-Blood Side A The Ken Peplowski Quintet-Sonny Side(CJ 376) Side 2 SQ Audiophile Rival Sons-Head Down Side 1 Pat Metheny Group-Still Life(talking) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Power was very clean tonight resulting in 4 Audiophile SQ recordings. Only Moorer and Rival Sons SQ got in the way(diminished) of the music. Close SQ call between Metheny/Peplowski but Metheny had less edge/sharpness and IMO a higher SQ upside.

@noromance Somewhat similar pop rock styles Brian, less on the funk rock. More reminiscent to me of say… a dialed back and smoother pop/rock sound of Huey Lewis and The News. Ace’s big hit—you’ll remember it— is “How Long”. I’d forgotten about “Midnight Runaway” on that Three Dog Night album… |
The MoFi ’One Step’ Mingus Ah Um. While this record is good, I feel it does have a certain digital sheen to it that is obvious after one knows its ’history’. I say this, as I followed it up with the Tone Poet release of Breakin Point by Freddie Hubbard, which was mastered by Kevin Gray and from an all AAA tape. The difference in overall SQ ( at least on my system) is fairly easy to hear. The ’One Step’ Mingus is just a little less warm and a tad less airy sounding. Both good, but the TP has the better SQ, surprisingly! |
@bslon I've never listened to them before. Like an English version of this...? |

Sweet, what a great recommendation @vair68robert! My all time favorite Van Halen Album. |
Miami Vice-TV Soundtrack Side 1 Jonathan Edwards-ST Side 2 SQ* Father Tom Vaughn-Joyful Jazz(CJ 16) Side 1 SQ Audiophile John Waite-No Brakes Side 1 Blue Rodeo-Diamond Mine Side 2 Stephen Bishop-Careless Side B SQ* Journey-Infinity Side 2 Lacy J Dalton-Survivor Side 1 SQ* Had 3 near Audiophile SQ misses would need several playbacks to determine Audiophile SQ. If unfamiliar with "Careless" what an extreme top level singer/songwriter recording. |
James Last Band-Seduction Side 1 Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band-Against The Wind Side 2 Neil Sedaka-Sedaka's Back Side 1 SQ* Ellis Marsalis-Heart Of Gold Side 2 SQ* Gerry Rafferty-North & South Side 1 Nielsen/Herbert von Karajan(2532 029) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Eric Clapton-No Reason To Cry Side 1 Blood Sweat & Tears-Brand New Day Side B SQ Audiophile Nothing had below average SQ tonight. Marsalis/Sedaka were very close to Audiophile SQ. Karajan/BS&T were also close in SQ. Neither recording has demo disc SQ but the edge goes to BS&T for a more organic SQ. |
