Hi KP,

Thanks for your support !

But I hope you are aware that you post
Swedish BIS CDs in a LP thread.

These albums are not available on LP.

Regards Toni

Picked up a RCA/Classic Records release of the Walton's Facade. On plum Victrola it's one of the great lp's for imaging, dynamics, and instrument placement. Also has a few very deep bassoon notes. Both are taken from the master tapes, just 45 years apart. After a back to back listen I'd say I could live with either. If forced to choose, I'd give the edge to the Victrola, but it could be that the 1s/1s Victrola copy is simply pressed with less wear on the stamper than the Classic. It certainly was from a better condition master tape.

... the 2nd Aussie super disc:

Bach-Stokowski: Symphonic Transcriptions
Pikler, Sydney Symphony Orchestra

Quote from: HP

This recording, made at the Australian Broadcasting System's
Sydney Music Studios, is the second sonic blockbuster from
Clapham and Smith (the other is Antill's Corroboree on
Australian EMI) ...
... If, perchance, you want to know how the real thing can sound
"sweet", then listen to this recording, with its deft differentiations
of individual woodwind tonalities and its incredibly smooth repro-
duction of the big string sound.

John Renbourn: Sir John Alot of Merrie Englandes Musyk Thyng &
ye Grene Knyghte

... I read this music described as "medieval and early classical
interspersed with folk".

Still, one of my favorites.

Pentangle "Sweet Child".

I'm thinking this will be a Pentangle-ish weekend, both on vinyl and cd ... of course, the cds will be posted on the appropriate circles and not here

... have to take a closer look and ear at this record:

Chuck Mangione: Children of Sanchez

it's a first pressing by the then CBS plant in Haarlem, Holland
and pressed from an US mother set with "MASTERDISK RL" in
the dead wax - 'nough said.

Hmmm, memory sometimes fails but isn't it you who has the Haarlem pressed Eloys ... or is it P-man?
