Land Of Kush / Against the day If any of you enjoy indie rock that is a bit off kilter (an acquired taste for sure... Much like black licorice :-), check this band out.
Budapest String Quartet plays Beethoven 6 Sting Quartets; The Complete String Quartets Vol. 1. Odyssey/Columbia reissue 1969 mono. 3 LP box set. Originally released 1952.
I know that you guys have moved well past the comments on James Taylor, Flag. I just got to it last night. Wonderful album of music. Fantastic SQ. I'll be playing that one again fairly soon. Great find in my collection, and for free, too!
Ambrosian, S/T their first album. Fantastic vocals! Paul Simon, Graceland. 25th Anniversary Issue. Awesome!!! Pink Floyd, The Wall. All 4 sides. What an event it is to listen to it in it's entirety.
The new speakers are breaking in nicely. I'm still playing mostly those albums that I have listened to more recently. That makes for a good reference compared to memory of my most recent time of listening to them. The speakers sure are sounding awesome. Another 70 hours of run-in time ought to do it for them. A fun process, for sure.
Szell conducts Tchaikovsky - Variation on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra & Weber - Overture to “Der Freischutz” and “Oberon”. New York Philharmonic. Columbia Masterworks, Limited Edition, unknown release date, but per the ‘6 eye’ LP label, probably early to late 50’s. Mono.
Finishing up the last 2 of 5 LP’s in this set that I started last evening:
Sir Colin Davis conducts Sibelius - The 7 Symphonies + Finlandia, The Swan of Tuonela, and Tapiola. The Boston Symphony. Philips 5 LP box set. Probably released in 1977-1980, Italian pressing.
