Columbia 6 eye lp's

Living Stereo. Living Presence. Reference Recordings. Columbia Six Eyes get no respect, I tell ya...

Just wondering if anybody would like to list their favorite Six-Eyes for sonics, which at their best rival anything out there (IMO).

What started me wondering was listening to Eugene Ormandy conducting Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty today. I have always passed on this one, but today a copy came in to the Goodwill that was so mint I couldn't resist it for $1.19. When I played I was shocked - it's not only an excellent performance, but a stupendous recording.

Another one that I've always liked is the Bruno Walter/Francescatti Beethoven Violin Concerto. And of course the Miles Davis titles.

How about you? Any obscure ones - or conversely, the obvious ones like the Ormandy that fellow Audiogoners might be passing up?

How about one of the most famous Jazz LP's of all time? "Time Out" by Dave Brubeck Quartet.

The original 6 Eye is wonderful both musically and sonically.

The cut "Take Five," still attracts younger listeners as they discover this old Jazz masterpiece.
