Ambrosia. It's been years since I put them on, and I'm blown away. There are a couple of their albums that rival Sgt Pepper in creativity. Very under rated band IMO. The albums, 'Somewhere I've never traveled' and their self titled one are my favs.
Imagine Yes, Chicago, the Beatles, and Klaatu mixed together, with a great vocalist.

New Rhino reissue came today, fabulous improvement in SQ over my OP. I’m amazed at the quality of the LP, astonishing silence that allows the low level detail to shine. Overall, impressive effort by Rhino.
Showing the new gatefold, the front cover’s the same.

FWIW the power quality was lacking tonight. Usually Sunday evening is #1 in SQ but dynamics were restrained tonight. Nothing had below average SQ but was disappointed in "Opera" since its an original pressing maybe on a better power night? Wrapping up Gord's tribute with 2 or 3 albums to go.
