W. A. Mozart Early Symphonies, Berliner Philarmoniker, K. Boehm. DG

When I was reading the interview I realized that I am not a "collector", because I play my records. A good news for my analist, he has to cure my obsession about high heels and women's legs only.

Thanks, Brownie, Very Interesting.

Beethoven's Piano Concertos, Barenboim/Klemperer EMI. What I found unbeatable about music is that there is always a perfect record for your mood, from Ayler to Zappa, from Pink Floyd to Brahms, from Nusrath to Bach, from Miles to...

Mahler Symphony 3, Decca, London Symphony Orchestra/Solti

Just found in my sister's garage some old classical records, Decca, DG, ecc. The nicest is a first stereo pressing of Beethoven's symphonies where Karajan conduct Berliner Philarmoniker, the 1962 Karajan recording, the best of his Beethoven. After a hard cleaning they are still gorgeous. I dare any digital supporters to store for more then twentyfive years some cds in a humid vault full of building material.

I love this band, most of the tracks are like movies, you are in another place, another time. I am asking myself if I am the only fanatic here.

I'm not trying to cast aspersions, but how can you tell that's an original pressing? It probably went through scores of repressings within weeks of issue. MG True, but I assume that: 1) I didn't burn it from a cd 2) I didn't download it 3) It's a 1841 Broadway label 4) It sounds gorgeous 5) It's not a cassette 6) It's not a bootleg 7) It's not a later reissue Now, tell me: Did I say it's a 'original first' pressing?

Don't know about Telarc, my 'classical age' was earlier then that, late sixties, early seventies, my father's influence, at that time 'the' labels were DG and Decca. And the guys were Karajan, Solti, Giulini, Gilels, Klemperer. For a bizarre short circuit of my brain I always associated the greatest performances of classical music with 'cold war'. I should visit an analist for it.

Obviously there are some rare pressings and titles, but the average prices are good, I mean that mint original UK Decca or german Deutsche Grammophon are usually well under 15/20 bucks, and the box sets cost less then 5 buck for LP. They are even cheaper if you consider reissues instead of early pressings. The pressing quality is generally very good, and used records are generally well cared by previous owners. So you can find classical music on vinyl at the same price of new cd. At least in my experience.

Don't know if you're interested, but Sundazed reissued the first three JA records in mono from the original master tapes on 180 gr vinyl. I have Surrealistic and it sounds ok. I didn't listen to the new remastered cd, I have most of the original Lps, Probably I should check them out again in term of sound quality, but I am too lazy for it, otherwise I could post on SHoffman forum. About Crosby's, try to listen to a good original pressing, 1841 Broadway, it blew out, and will probably ever do, every attempt to reduce it to a series of '0' and '1'.

Hey, two wheels good, four wheels bad! I think George something-or-other said that in a book called "Motoring Farm" or something... Actually I have two bikes, so it makes four wheels, but I think it's twice 'good'

Does old motorbike count? I have an old BMW R65, named 'Old Betsie' from my son.

Wow! I would expected at least some Adorno's like notations from Chuck and Eric. Maybe they can't read italian.

I wish to fill many holes in my classic music collection. I noted that classical records are ridicolously cheap compared to jazz. Here you got a brief list of what I am interested for. Taking to account first: performance, second: quality or recording, third: availability. Obviuosly I wish analogue recording. Great Box set are welcome too.

The elite will not consider any records without original fingerprints of RVG on edge of the record. In case you can't prove fingerprints, we could accept evidence based on DNA analysis.

No More Hard or Soft Drugs Consumers to be prosecuted. Table of quantities for personal use not yet available. ROME – All drugs are the same. Whether the substance is cocaine, hashish, LSD, ecstasy or marijuana, there will no longer be any distinction between hard and soft drugs. Vice Premier Gianfranco Fini took pains to point out again that “no one will go to prison for a joint”, although the new law on drugs that was approved yesterday in the Senate will make consumers as well as dealers liable to prosecution. The fines are administrative and not penal, but since all drugs are treated equally, cannabis smokers may end up having their passports withdrawn.But there is more. The concept of a “moderate quantity” has been reintroduced, albeit under another name, to establish an objective limit between personal use and dealing. Although the – unified – table of borderline doses is not yet available, the new law on drugs is about to go through the Chamber of Deputies in a race against time after approval in the Senate. AMENDMENT – In the end, the law on drugs passed in the Senate as an amendment. It had languished in committee for two years before Minister Carlo Giovanardi decided to draft an extract of twenty-two articles out of the total one hundred and six. But there would still not have been enough time, so it was decided to piggyback the law, in the form of an amendment, to a decree for the transfer to the Olympics of scratchcard revenue and for the recruitment of more than one thousand police officers to combat terrorism. The provision will now go to the Chamber of Deputies, where it will probably be treated in the same way it was in the Senate, as a vote of confidence.Mr Fini explained the vote in this way. “It was essential to implement the principle in the bill of repression for dealers”. There have been many protests,including the comment by Rose in the Fist leader, Daniele Capezzone. “There’s a lot of moralising about drugs in Parliament but if a police dog went into the Chamber of Deputies, first its nose would go crazy and then it would roll over”. Democrats of the Left (DS) Luigi Manconi ironicallycalls it a real masterpiece.Daisy Alliance parliamentarian Rosy Bindi talks about “institutional arrogance” and MEP Emma Bonino complains that “there is less and less freedom in Italy”. For the majority, Luca Volontè, leader of the Christian Democrat (UDC) group in the Chamber of Deputies, calls it “one of the keystone government initiatives of the past decade”. THE TABLE – The table is perhaps the most controversial aspect of the new law. Unlike the regulations contained in legislation approved in 1990, and then abrogated by a referendum in 1993, the new law will not have tables to define what was previously known as a “moderate quantity”. This time there will be only one table for all drugs.However, there is no table at all at the moment.According to the piggyback amendment, the Ministry of Health will decide the borderline quantity that separates dealing from personal use in a decree that will therefore have the force of criminal law. According to DS Senator Massimo Brutti, this procedure “is in contrast with the second paragraph of article twenty-five of the constitution”, but junior minister for the Interior, National Alliance’s (AN) Alfredo Mantovano, defends the new measure robustly. He says that“the same procedure was followed in 1990, when the Minister of Health laid down the tables in a decree.Actually, more will be done this time because the Minister of Health will draft the decree in concert with the Minister of Justice and the National Department of Anti-drug Policies”. DRUG REHABILITATION CENTRES – The section of the amendment that deals with residential rehabilitation centres and dependency services has stirred up protests. The new law puts public and private services on the same footing, giving both the power to certify drug dependency.This is a far from marginal issue since here too there are penal repercussions. Drug-dependant offenders are given special treatment by the law thanks to what is called a “minor” sentence of imprisonment for a minimum of one to a maximum of six years, in contrast with the tariff for the basic offence, which ranges from six to twenty years. Finally, the new law also raises the threshold for serving alternative sentences from four to six years when the offender is drug-dependant.
