Michael Jackson-Thriller(No MJ production credit) Side 2 SQ* Ruth Olay-Olay!(Mercury SR 60085) Side 2 SQ* The Manhattan Transfer-Live Side 1 Tesla-Mechanical Resonance Side 2 Sammy Davis JR. Sings/Laurindo Almeida Plays(RS-6236) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Rare Silk-American Eyes Side 2 Beethoven-Wilhelm Backhaus(CS 6366) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Nancy Wilson-Forbidden Lover Side 1 SQ* All recordings were played for the first time. Thriller is an upgrade from my previous played copy. Will give the SQ crown to Laurindo/Sammy for exquisite SQ and content. Excellent late album from Nancy. Tesla great content solid SQ, one of the overlooked great recording debuts. Backhaus playing is incredible especially when considering his advanced age when recorded. |
@aphilc yes there are many here who would agree the period of mono moving into early stereo but before multitrack was a sonic high point. |
