Thrift store tune treat for half-buck + tax

I stopped at one of my favorite thrift stores of Durham NC and after quick surf through the record boxes I found Leinsdorf//Petrushka on Decca Viva released in 1983 UK. I've been happy with 80's Decca labels in general so indeed had to give it a try for half-buck in very clean condition with undamaged inner original polylined sleeve.
When I started listening, I thought I couldn't be happier with sound that has amazing stereo mix with imaging and placement of instruments. It literally defines precise placement of instruments throughout the entire album so that you want to be a conductor yourself :). Also I was impressed with exceptional detail and genuine natural sound of instruments.

I'm not classical music enthusiast and do not listen to it all day.
I start my day usually from electronic dance (sometimes with dynamic rock or metal as well) during my aerobics or workouts and end usually with classical or jazz unless I have thrown a party with drugs sex and rnr..:)

It's not History that I value about classical music, but rather variety of pieces beyond popular Stravinsky/Petrushka. I also like the fact that it's HUGE work of artist no matter solo or orchestral to bring it to listener's pleasure.

One main thing to understand about History that it's never been accurate unless you're an eyewitness -- otherwise you can still remain forever as child...

Yes! 
Inacuracy of history, polytical injustice, wars very often build up great and interesting material for arts and culture including music.
