Ace / No Strings
1977 Anchor

After releasing Ace’s third and last album, Paul Carrack moved on to Mike + The Mechanics and a solo career.


Ace / Time For Another
1975 Anchor

In the mood for some easy listening pop, going with Paul Carrack and Ace. Five-A-Side was probably their most successful (“How Long”), but I like this album best. Nice SQ on these LPs.

Finally got around to washing out that bit of dust/crackle from the volume pot on my ADCOM GFP-565 so, after reassembly I played David Bowie’s “Station to Station,” a recent acquisition and perennial favorite going back to high school days (1976?).

 

Mendelssohn-Symphony No.4(MS 6050 6 Eye) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Jimi Hendrix-The Essential Vol.2 Side 2

Steve Lawrence/Eydie Gorme-Two On The Aisle Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Renaissance-Novella Side A

Steely Dan-The Royal Scam(ABC pressing) Side B SQ Audiophile

Albert Collins-Ice Pickin' Side A SQ Audiophile

Joanne Brackeen-Aft Side B SQ Audiophile

Jennifer Warnes-ST Side 1

5/8 recordings reached Audiophile SQ level. The irony is Ms.Warnes fell short despite Bernie Grundman(maybe a poor pressing?) The SQ winner is the King/Queen of the dollar bins! Maybe these United Artists/Ultra Audio releases are worth looking for?
