Zubin Mehta conducts Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 'Pathétique'. Los Angeles Philharmonic. London 1979.

A bit of surface noise, may need a more aggressive cleaning.
Never say, try no mat! Ha ha
@slaw Just winding you up bro!
Seriously, no mat is a great base reference point when trying other mats.
Regarding the Stereophile classification of the VPI Classic 3 as "class a"... I guess the reviewer was not so bright as to not notice the StP distance off. Just goes to show how deep these reviewers' loyalty goes.
Uriah Heep "Demons & Wizards"

This record was instrumental in my formative years of great music.

Sadly, I don’t own an original Bronze. I do have the Castle remaster which, from memory, sounds great. Up now.

Mehta conducts Buckner’s 9th. Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. London 1965 in just excellent condition, and great recording.

Unfortunately, I’m not a big Bruckner fan, but gave this a shot to see if Mehta could begin to change my mind.

I was looking for my glasses, then after going through the house, I realized I was wearing them.
Eric Clapton "Money & Cigarettes" This record is sounding very good! Great actually.
