@big_greg, I tell you what, sometimes I put that Red Octopus album on and it just doesn't stop playing for hours. It really is fantastic and under-appreciated.

Rickie Lee Jones - The Magazine
Original WB 1984 US pressing.
Recent NM find at a LRS for $5. Great album. Great SQ.
|
Night and The City
by Charlie Haden and Kenny Barron
|
@tgilb +1 RLJ first 3 recordings are 5 star rated with demo level SQ. I do believe "The Magazine" was digitally recorded.
|
PJ Harvey - B-Sides, Demos & Rarities (Record 5)
2022 Island
|
@dayglow Thanks for the info on The Magazine. I was not aware. While the SQ is very good it would be difficult to compete with the high bar set by her first self titled album and Pirates that are absolutely stunning.

Patti Labelle-Tasty Side 1
Moe Bandy-Soft Lights And Hard Country Music Side 2
Aerosmith-Night In The Ruts Side 2 SQ*
Uriah Heep- Live Side B(2 on label) SQ*
Paul Simon-There Goes Rhymin’ Simon Side 1 SQ *
Harold Betters-Funk City Express Side 2
Deep Purple-Perfect Strangers Side 2(B on label)
Tchaikovsky-Symphony No.4(RCA VICS-1000) Side 1+2
SQ* Just missed Audiophile SQ. If I had to pick a winner Uriah Heep gets the edge considering its a live album regardless of whether or not it was cleaned up in the studio. Gary Thain is wicked on bass as well as the entire band, great live album if your a classic rock fan! Perfect Strangers is one of the best rock albums of the 1980’s.

Oliva Newton-John-Greatest Hits Side 1
Dionne Warwick-Dionne Side 1
Michael Franks-One Bad Habit Side 2
Carpenters-Voice Of The Heart Side 2 SQ Audiophile
John Klemmer-Touch Side A SQ Audiophile
Every recording had above average SQ. After hearing Carpenters and Klemmer rise above the rest I could not justify giving any of the others Audiophile status. As many know "Touch" has a long history of being a demo disc which ultimately takes the SQ crown.
