Ditto on owning those 3 on vinyl...and most of her previous LPs on vinyl.
I saw her in Cleveland at an outdoor, semi-roof covered facility on her “What’s New?” tour - warmup group was Quarterflash.
She typically had very good engineers...but the best sounding versions were mastered by my friend, Steve Hoffman - on both vinyl and CD. Check em out for great sonics and music.
I collected a LOT of vinyl from estate sales in Seattle the last year I lived there before moving to my new farm house in central KY. I ended up with multiple copies of everything she’s done, coupled with whatever I already owned. Those Nelson Riddle ones were an incredible treat.
I read a book a few years ago called Hotel California, where her days at the Troubadour were chronicled along with a lot of other bands. It makes you appreciate her stuff even more.

Yes, I remember her albums having a very clear sound with the instruments standing out from each other. Loved Blue Bayou.
