Yeah,,,I know,,,some titles I find often, some I dont...I know everything tends to calm down after awhile...lol

The Porgy and Bess does have the West Side Story on side B...
It's too late at night for me to locate the LSC-2340 in my collection, but if your Living Stereo has the Robert Russell Bennett arrangements of Porgy and Bess Orchestral Suite on side one, and West Side Story Orchestral Suite on side two, then you are in for a real treat. One of the best sounding recordings, and yet not given enough credit as the sonic spectacular that it is. If your copy is in great condition, then it may be the special find that rewards you for your search time that day at the thrift shoppe (haven't seen that spelling since the 1950's when the record was produced.)
Glad to see you're having so much fun with this stuff. Which gives me a slight pang of conscience to tell you that once you've been at it for a while, you'll start to realize that a lot of the records you've been posting about are the sorts of titles you'll see often and everywhere. I don't say that to dampen your enjoyment, but just to advise you to hold out for copies in exceptional condition if these are what interests you. And I'm not exempting myself - I have copies of every Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass LP, and I reckon habitual thrifters see more of those than just about any other single artist (actually, a debate about what non-collectable artists clog the second-hand bins the most would be a great topic for another thread - let's see...you've got your Mitch Miller, Eddie Duchin, Mantovani, Hugo Winterhalter, Ray Coniff, a whole slew of broadway musicals...). Oh yeah, I also have several of those RCA Stereo Action titles, just for their way-cool pull-out covers. Keep working, it's inevitable that one day soon you'll stumble across some real rare finds... :-)
