+1  @big_greg     Pat Benatar is seriously over looked by many Audiophiles as frivolous. IMO her recordings are equal to Kate Bush that many Audiophiles rave over.

Brother Dege – How To Kill A Horse (Magic Bullet 2015)

I really want to like this. Musically, decent enough but lyrically, it's not really cutting it for me. 

Count Basie Orchestra – Good Morning Blues (MCA 1977) side 2

Duke Ellington – Monologue (Columbia Special Products 1973) side 2

Various – Woodstock, Music From The Original Soundtrack And More (Cotillion 1970)

I haven't played this in a looong time. Decades. It's seems like I heard it last week. 

Bill, It's interesting how we can remember vinyl buys out in the wild. 🤗

@boxer12  I agree. As a longtime Swans fanatic, her addition took them to new places and made for great music.

Patti Smith Group / Easter
1978 Arista

A nice find in the cut-out bin about a gazillion years ago…😎

@gochurchgo - I agree, she is very talented. Really liked her contribution to the band "Swans"

Charles Mingus Let My Children Hear Music  which I picked up yesterday. He’s easily my favorite of what little jazz I like.

Herbie Hancock-Sextant Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Joni Mitchell-Clouds Side 2 SQ*

SQ* Pavarotti/Transfer/Mitchell were very close to Audiophile SQ. Hancock takes the SQ crown for having a very wide/deep soundstage. Head On might be the best sounding BTO recording?
