I was in college during most of the period you referenced and had the following on vinyl:
WH-1014 - Passage - William Ackerman [1981]
WH-1017 - Breakfast in the Field - Michael Hedges [1981]
WH-1030 - Southern Exposure - Alex De Grassi [1984]
WH-1032 - Aerial Boundaries - Michael Hedges [1984]
I was just starting to get serious about my gear during those days. I had an Onkyo TA-2090 that was a highly regarded cassette deck at the time and had transferred most of my vinyl to tape, as I refused to bring my gear into the dorms. Enjoyed listening to mix tapes of many selections from these albums as study music.
Yes, they were well recorded albums at that time. The importance to me was that they were selections I used in my learning process while experimenting with quality source reproduction.
