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 a big classical enthusiast, but somehow I managed to collect a heck of a lot of classical albums over the years. I too have picked up these albums at thrift stores in great condition, because it would seem that back in the day real classical enthusiasts simply took better care of their albums than anybody else. IMO

They tend to be smarter and more civilized than the average bear so that figures .
I don’t know how you guys do it, listen to classical music all day. There’s a big world out there. 😛 Wasn't it Grouch Marx who quipped, I like my cigar, too, but I take it out sometimes?

If you don’t know , you don’t know . The world is big but the best is small and has a small audience .
Why eat at McDonald's when you can go to a 4 star joint for same price .

This very obvious but very true and often overlooked by those who think they're knowledge is superior to to other's and this poster points out the fallacys of those who don't know. What is also true I think all will agree is that the world is round and many people are round and that is a big audience because obesity is rising in the US based on all of the data that I have reveiwed that is relevant to this matter. These round people also tend to buy round products which is why cars are more rounded to day than they once were and why you see rounded corners on the equipment comprising our Music Reproduction Systems when it didn't use to be that way. It is also obvious that schubert is one of the one's who knows and knows he knows and so for sharing this wisdom those who don't know should be grateful and thank you schubert!
