I remember I liked him, actually I heard him at a concert in 1980. I'll look for some of his records. Thanks for remind.

Yes, every note, I mean how many performances of The Barber of Sevilla's overture I listened to? From records, radio, movies, etc, probably one hundred, and this one IS the ONE. Music is great.

I collected the last records of my dad from my sister's house. The oldest, dirtiest and forgotten bunch. Among them there are those RCA/Reader's Digest collections of classical highlights, very common in everybody's house: mono and usually not really great performances of the usual stuff: Rossini, Mozart, Bizet, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, etc. I just cleaned some of them and played. Suddenly I realized that they are probably my first exposure to 'MUSIC' since my birth, maybe even before that. Man, I can unconsciously recognize the specific performance...they are deeply rooted in my mind like a pre-birth experience. I realized that, for instance the specific performance of Mussorgsky' A Night on Bald Mountain on 'that' RCA makes sound some inner unconscious memories I had forgotten, and no other performaces do that, I mean I probably listened to dozens or hundred performances of the same works and nothing happened. Amazing and astounding experience.

Thanks! I am near Genoa, with my sister' family, my mom and all the nephews. We are going to celebrate my sister's 20 years wedding. So it will be a week end of feasts!

For some reason I thought mine had DG side 1 but just checked it and it hasn't - so ignore the DG bit ! :rsmile: wow, that's a relief Sorry about that Michel, my stereo pressing, NY 'ear', has a deep groove on side 1.

Count me into those deleted members. About the auctions and the commercial side of the music business, as record collector I find it's a good thing to have a call for any interesting stuff on eBay like this one, though after Lehman Brothers collapse I have to pass on. jaybreezie, don't take it personally, we're pretty rude with everybody here, older members included, but it's that kind of 'macho' brotherly love, like Cain and Abel.

No, unfortunately I am anosmic.

Any idea if this was a fold-down, or was there a specific mono mix for this one? It's a specific mono mix, though according to http://www.pinkfloyd-co.com/disco/saucer/saucer_trivia.html 'Jugband Blues' 'is the only track with notable differences between the stereo and mono versions'. BTW I don't have the stereo pressing at the moment so I can't do a direct A/B comparison.

Freddy Hubbard - THE ARTISTRY OF FREDDY HUBBARD - Impulse! mono.

Actually Berlusconi's AC Milan doesn't need the Becks, Berlusconi's tabloids do, I suspect that there is a good job somewhere for Victoria, perhaps in one program of Berlusconi's tv channels, meanwhile italian PM (yes, Berlusconi again) has just cut off 6 billions euros for public school and universities funds. Oh well, who cares? Becks' boys will attend private school.

Perhaps, though I often hear background voices spinning original pressings of the late Beatles.

Welcome back MG! I second Chris' suggestion, at home I have Macs. At the studio PCs and I just lost two days of editing because of a virus

Seriously, I heard of such problems, but only with minimalist tubed design preamps.

Use the 'mono' switcher.

Of course. It must be stereo - anything else is rubbish ! now spinnin': Quincy Jones - GO WEST, MAN - ABC mono.
