Albums that leap to my mind are The Babys - Broken Heart for production value and Supertramp - Breakfast in America & Crime of the Century for sheer audio quality. Put on your headphones for that Supertramp, close your eyes and they're right there in the room with you.

Really cool idea for a video series! I did a search on Discogs and I have 66 Bob Ludwig mastered albums (some CDs, some LPs). A few of my favorites: Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms, Queen - A Night at the Opera (remaster), ZZ Top - Degüello, Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy, Rush - Moving Pictures.

Another great video Tim! Gaucho is underrated for sure, that is routinely towards the bottom of any Steely Dan album ranking, but It’s one of my favourites I love it - and it sounds fantastic. Green is an incredible album, I particularly love the harder hitting stuff on Side 2 - the “Metal Side”. Very fond memories of playing that to death on my Sony Walkman wherever I went back in ‘88! Start me up! Now that is one of the all-time best album openings - Keith Richards is the man!! Iconic album cover too (tho of course Keith looks way cooler on the back than Mick does on the front.)

The real story of the Buckingham Nicks album is that Mick was auditioning studios and the Sound City folks used the BN recordings as a demo of the studio. Mick then tracked down Lindsey to ask him to join FM. And yes, he didn't want another woman in the band at that time.

@@Universityofvinyl Fortunately ‘RL’ pressings of ‘The Stranger’ aren’t too terribly difficult to track down, once you’re on the lookout for it. Columbia issued White Label Promos of ‘The Stranger’ for the ‘RL’ pressings, so that helps it to stick out a little more while searching for it.

Bob Ludwig is THE God of mastering. Before I ever knew what master was, I knew that I had some albums that sounds great (good stereo, sound stage, presence of instruments, clarity in higher frequencies, etc.) and other that didn’t. The only common factor was that all of the great sounding albums were mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk - none of the dull or otherwise poor sounding albums were.

I'd say that many albums that came out under the perceived genre of "yacht rock" were superbly produced sonically (usually by Ludwig or Grundman to name a few); and even within that genre, the roster of who's yacht rock and who isn't is still up for debate. I do have that Boys and Girls LP which I found for under $10! - Red

I never understood the Springsteen craze, and I have not seen him ranked in any other review site.
