Beethoven, Symphony No. 9, Wojciech Kajski and the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra. (Yes, the fourth side really does play backwards - from the spindle out.) I have been collecting this series since it first started and have consistently been delighted with their lithe dynamic performances. Perhaps my favorites series of the Beethoven Symphonies.

George Antheil’s Symphony No. 4 with Eugene Goossens and the London Symphony Orchestra, circa 1958. Everest SDBR 6013.

And followed by Ginastra's Estancia ballet suite on the flip side. Nice stuff!
I always enjoy scrolling through this thread because it prompts me to pull out records I haven't heard in a long time. But recently the posts have included music, artists and groups I simply have never heard about! This simply demonstrates the tremendous breadth of music available to us. 

@slaw - really?? There's a group called "Box of Frogs" ??? And their self-titled album came out over 30 years ago?? The music you list is probably, in aggregate, the most unknown to me:  The Russian Wilds,  Mark Kozelek, Smog, Colour Haze ...  So much to explore - I love it!!

@astro58go -  "The Album Leaf" - another totally new to me group.

@reubent -  "Brian Auger's Oblivion Express" - not on my radar screen but I suppose will be now.


Harmonic Choir "Listen To The Winds"
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark "Architecture In Morality"
Morning workout started with Billy Idol "Rebel Yell"
Big Country - The Crossing

In a Big Country

"I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered,
but you can't stay here with every single hope you have shattered...."
slaw,

I love "Talk is Cheap". Heard it when it first came out and I've been listening to it ever since.......
The Harmonic Choir "Hearing Solar Winds" on French Ocora label
Serge Ganesbourg "Love On The Beat" on US Mercury original.

I found it!

JJ Cale/ Eric Clapton "The Road to Escondido".

Now I"m kickin' back....

See ya'll.......
here's my Sunday's playlist so far..

Jack White "Blunderbuss"
Neil Young "Harvest Moon"
Jethro Tull "Aqualung" (Steven Wilson mix)
ELO "Face The Music"
Box of Frogs "S/T"
Keith Richards "Talk Is Cheap"
Porcupine Tree "Stupid Dream"

I pulled out Box of Frogs "S/T" for the first time in 30 years. "Harder" reminded me of the Keith Richards  lp  "Talk Is Cheap". Then I looked at the album dates. BOF came out 4 years earlier than "Talk Is Cheap". I'm cleaning 'TIC" right now.

Of coarse Keith has had his signature licks for a great while. Just thought it was an interesting comparison.
Right now.....

Johnny Winter "Second Winter"  Speakers Corner @ 3 0'clock!
so far...

Tool "Aenima"
Colour Haze "All"
Porcupine Tree "Fear of a Blank Planet"
