I'm hoping to pick up some vinyl at Scotlands biggest record fair in Glasgow in a months time. I've kind of milked what I'm interested in from my local dealer. I usually find something at the fair but the last one was pretty poor.

Yesterday:
RL Jones - Pirates
Grateful Dead - Workingman's
Who - Live at Leeds
Springsteen - Born in USA
Paul Simon (1972)

Used but minty-fresh "Tattoo You", The Rolling Stones. The cover is only so-so but the vinyl is like new. They had another copy for twice the price, nicer cover but the disc had some light scratches. I think I made the correct choice.

In Selectadisc Nottingham today


Pete Molinari - Walking Off The Map

kinda dylanesque singer song writer. Recorded in Billy Childish's kitchen ... and sounds it, but that's sort of a good thing.


Studio 1 Rub a Dub

exactly what it says on the sleeve


The Shins new 7" - Phantom Limb

Great band and can't wait til the new album is out. The single is interesting because for some reason the A side is 33rpm and the B side is a 45rpm multigroove - two parallel songs and which you get happens at random depending where you drop the needle. Made even more confusing by putting the labels on the wrong side (they can't get the staff you know )

Just picked up a very mint looking Blue Note/United Artists 1973 dark blue label reissue of Cannonball Adderly's "Somethin' Else". Traded a couple of records I bought on the weekend for $2 a piece at a garage sale to one of the local dealers.

Off to clean it right now. It'll be spinning tonight.

Won the bid in eBay: Beethoven 9th symphony, including Side 4 with snippets of rehearsals of all movements by conductor Pierre Monteux. Quite interesting rehearsal morsels, including powerful unintended, unfiltered occasional bass-drum taps (the player was tapping to his own clock, not the conductor's). But the bass drum in the actual musical production seems to be filtered, with hardly any impact at all.
Listening to the rehearsal snippets brings back my choral memories of participation in similar productions...valuable for the nostalgia.
The musical production itself is very good. Mr. Monteux knew his stuff as conductor. The recording by Westminster is very good (age unspecified, around 1960?).
Instrumental locations are somewhat unorthodox, but instrumental timbres are very faithfully captured...good microphones! Breadth is favored over depth, and the chorus is somewhat dimly captured. Ah, and the clarinets...wonderful throughout...what lovely sounds from this instrument (esp. on third movement)!
For once it's thrilling to hear a world-class tenor (Jon Vickers) singing his part in strongly effective fashion! Idem on the bass-baritone part.
The overall interpretation gives a thrilling 9th, somewhat similar to the modern Solti/Chicago reissue, but with somewhat less impact than good ole Solti (the Screaming Skull?) could whip up! Orchestral finesse is, also, not up to the excruciating discipline of Berlin/Karajan, but it's very good nonetheless.
An endearing production of London Symphony Orchestra, on the World Record Club label, recorded by Westminster. Examples crop up occasionally in eBay.

P.S.- The LPs came in good condition. The 2-LP cover smells awful...it is now quarantined inside a box with several mothballs, to camouflage its odor. The LPs are freshly washed, with new sleeves, and kept in safe storage until the cover smells better.

[Blue Angel]

Thanks Carlos

A valuable and knowledgable insight. Mine does'nt smell at least but you may have a better copy. Monteux was a great conductor, very charismatic and capable of great vigor (when he felt like it!).

I have a picture of him somewhere where the proud dad towers over his kneeling (flautist?) son after some performance.

david Bowie - Low.

PIL - First Edition & Live in Tokyo.

Peter Gabriel - 4 & So.

Steve Hillage - And not Or.

Genesis - Trespass.

Bryan Ferry - Boys & Girls.

Fripp & Eno - Evening Star.

All for 27 pounds which is good as I only had 30 to spend on strict instruction from my other half.

[JollyJeweller]

David Bowie - The man who sold the world. released 1970 . Cost...99 pence, brilliant LP!!
Rolling Stones - Some Girls, paid £1.99, OK needs some attention from the disc washer.
Sparrow, some good stuff there, esp. Trespass, PG 4 & So, and Ferry, B&G's was a very under rated LP.
