Chuck Nessa

Brahms 2nd Concerto w/ Fricsay & the Berlin Philharmonic - 1960. I'd forgotten how fine this version is.

Any foie gras fans here?

I loved this credit - "Recorded live on November 31,1981 by Konrad Lorenz at Foie Gras, Paris, France". Someone's goose was cooked.

More economical to print larger quantities of paper to save for later - print 2500, press 1000 is/was a common practice. You can up the numbers for the "majors".

Made me pull out this treasure -

Ditto - had the lp back in the day, but cd now. Thanks for the reminder.

They would file 2 sessions and maybe pay for a few more minutes each time. Most of those records were under 40 minutes. I forget the exact formula.

Dang!

with guests Jimmy Heath, Flip Phillips & Frank Foster.

Don't know about today but 50's through 70's a union session was 4 hours and from that session you could clear 15 minutes of music. Anything over that cost more. Back then I tried to pay for 3 sessions to get 40-45 minutes for an lp. Lots of labels "fudged" the times to gain a few "free" minutes out of 2 sessions.

I think they are just typical 2 (union) session Prestige dates. Union rules permitted 15 minutes per session and overtime for additional minutes.

How about it's companion?

Ooooo1

disc 2

And to which millennium do you refer?

I'll be interested to see if this is a "needle drop" like all the reissues since the turn of the century.

After listening to one tune I'd say it is not John Young.
