This is a very enjoyable discussion topic. My taste in music is Classical, Jazz, Blues, musicals and some pop. "Sony meets Hawk" on RCA 2712 Classis reissue is a knockout! I suggest that if you can find these used records in very good or better condition give them a try. Glazunov :"Music for Saxaphone", Melodia C10-06997-8 beautiful classical melodies recorded well. Scarlatti 23 Sonatas Connoisseur CS 2044 beautiful piano melodies. Holst "Six Medeival Lyrics" Argo ZRG 5495 is the best saml choir record I have heard. Side 1 is a men's choir and side 2 is women's chior. Camelot orginal B-way cast Columbia KOS 2031 if you have heard an orginal clean copy of this then you are missing out on great voices and tunes recorded well. Do you know of other use sonic bargins? Other reissues that are wonderful and that I have been listening to a lot are Borodin "String Quartet No. 2 Decca SXL6036; Liszt "Todtentanz" RCA 2545 (Classic's 45rpm re-issue);Charbier Mercury SR 90212 (Classical 45 RPM).
Get every Classic 45, decca, emi re-issues you can. I buy them automatically and haven't been disappopinted with any of them. Some of these are better than my $$$ mint orginals, only a collector should pay the big bucks for the orginals. The best music value out there are these re-issue and the use $5 record bins. Looking for a rare gem is fun and extremely enjoyable. The side benefits is that yoy can try different artists, performance and music outside of your experience and discover some great things. cheers, Gerrym5
Albert or others, What's a good search pattern for LPs on e-bay. My try yesterday was frustrating and didn't yield anything good. I am interested in Classical and Jazz orginal recordings. Gerrym5
