| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? The Knack are not a 1 hit wonder. Good Girls Don't hit #11 and Baby Talks Dirty was a top 40 hit.

| Jefferson Starship "Miracles" I own the DCC and the JVC 24K Bit K2(Japanese) versions of Jefferson Starship-Red Octopus. Neither are close to a reference level recording. The DCC version is more relaxed but has a slight layer of haze. The JVC K2 version is a mild victim of the... | |
| Test tracks for new equipment Linda Ronstadt-Living in the USA. The vinyl has a tight-clean and focused sound similar to a reel to reel tape. The perspective is forward and slightly aggressive which makes this recording a good demo for cables.TracksBack in the USA-Test for PRA... | |

| Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time Dawgfish, great choice on The Doors-Strange Days. Easily the equal of the (st) and LA Woman. Omit Light My Fire and Riders on the Storm from those recordings and Strange Days is the definitive recording. | |
