I'm giving this a solid 9... Fidelity is amazing as always with DV! It's not quite up to the Montenegro/Mancini levels of enjoyment but very nearly... Big Yellow Taxi sounds awesome!

Another winner from Vocalion. Love it, I dig most of the songs. Of course, the Quad mix is crazy good. I voted a 9.

Upping from a "9" to a "10", the mix on "New Thing" is so so good (done by the same bloke who did the Best Of Bread) i actually prefer the Mangione cover here to his version its unbelievably good in Quad.
