Finally getting around to listening to this. Absolutely incredible! I'm not (or at least wasn't) an opera fan, but wow what a recording of an amazing performance. And with 1953 technology. Breathtaking.

Puccini's Tosca with Maria Callas, 1953 recording at the Teatro alla Scala

Don't laugh, but a 2-LP K-Tel pressing of Bing Crosby at the Paladium. Very quiet surfaces, and SQ that rivals Belafonte at Carnegie Hall.

Wonderful recording, nice and warm like his voice. Do yourself a favor a find a copy!

And for those of you who haven't liked Keith Jarrett in the past, this is one to try. And a touching goodbye to Charlie Haden.

1956 Savoy Jazz

Sahib Shihab - baritone
Phil Woods - alto
Bennie Golson - tenor
Hank Jones - piano - Bill Evans (side 2)
Paul Chambers - bass - Oscar Pettiford (side 2)

This is a reissue from '84 in the original mono and cover. There's a sheet inside with modern liner notes. Everyone sounds great on this LP. Check out the lineup. The photo came out green - should be yellow.
