Anybody been Record Shopping today?

[6and8]

A good rummage through the record boxes at a local charity shop produced some classics, in every sense. All for less than two quid each, and all in very nice condition.

Shostakovich Symphony 9 / Prokofiev Lieutenant Kije Suite - Sir Malcolm Sargent / LSO. Plays beautifully but worth the money just for the album cover, a colourful chorus line of dancing Russian peasant girls in traditional dress, it's hard to tell if it's a painting or a crudely retouched photograph.

Siblelius Symphony No 1 in E Major - Sir John Barbirolli / Halle Orchestra.

Bruckner Symphony No 4 'Romantic' - Klaus Tennstedt / Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

Bach Harpsichord Recital - Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue, Italian Concerto, Toccata in D, French Suite No 5 - George Malcolm

Simon and Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme - one of those albums I never got around to buying at the time, the liner notes are a great reminder of how wonderfully naive life was in those days.

6&8, if you're a fan of Alexis Korner, have you got CCS, A's B's & Rarities, their greatest hits? I love their version of Whole Lotta Love. You'll recall Boom Boom, Walking, Tap Turns on the Water, and several others.

 

[thescarletpronster]

Well, I'm a happy boy. Managed at long last to get myself an original copy of The Young Mods' Forgotten Story by The Impressions. A stone-cold classic. I'm looking forward to giving it a spin over the weekend.

As a result of your post just checked out Kamasi Washington on Spotify - The Epic. Had never heard of 'im - fantastic stuff.

 

[thescarletpronster]

It's good, isn't it? Reminds me of Pharoah Sanders – in-you-face and overblown, but melodic at the same time.

Impressive also to decide that your debut album is going to be a 3-hour, 3-disc set called The Epic!
