Hey Tom, I also have Deodato 2 (1973 CTI) which too has some good covers. I agree that the CTI records usually sound pretty good. But I usually go with that MCA label because of “Peter Gunn”. 😎

@reubent "camp pendleton" is a very well-constructed song  which is so jangly-pretty you almost don't notice how dark and disturbing the lyrics are. "norcal girls" is very cracker-like and also hits you lyrically--i would played it straighter, without the ironic backing vocals and fiddle, but it's a good tune.

George Benson  -  Breezin   My copy is good, but not superb.  A little flat and lacking in bottom end.  Probably a late pressing in the particular stamper.  Still sounds good and is superb music.  I have had this since it first released.

Sonny Rollins  -  Saxophone Colossus   Excellent mono recording, excellent music.

Sonny Rollins  -  Way Out West   Great music and silent vinyl (as is Saxophone Colossus).  I don't know it this was ever available in mono, my copy is stereo.  It's a very hard left/right mix.  Killer sonics, though.  Great album!
