Seawind-ST Side A SQ*
Highway 101-2 Side 2
Lita Ford-Stiletto Side B
Branford Marsalis-Scenes In The City Side 1 SQ*
Carly Simon-Anticipation Side 1 SQ*
Melissa Etheridge-ST Side 1 SQ*
Tchaikovsky-1812/Romeo And Juliet(Angel S-36890) Side 1 SQ*
Bette Midler-ST Side 1 SQ*
Decided to feature female vocals on 6 albums, only Seawind and Lita Ford were previously played. Very difficult to pick an SQ champ tonight with 6 SQ* but it came down to the pristine sound of Marsalis versus the very slightly murky/rounded organic presence of Carly Simon. I will give Anticipation the non-Audiophile SQ crown. Very strong debut by Ms. Midler that is often overlooked. Etheridge’s debut is a 5* recording that places very high on my 1980’s Pop/Rock best list
