Kid in a Candy Shop

The Readers Digest series is another to seek out when bin diving.

Stores can't give it away,  among other genres.

Cheap and plentiful in my area.

I get many 3/$10

Tomasco Albinoni sounds like a hot sauce in an Italian restaurant.

That would be his Spanish cousin, Tabasco Albinoni.

Picked up many gems for next to nothing at middle of nowhere thrift stores that dot the Florida panhandle. Recently got a nice Henry Mancini in Sopchoppy.

I continue to binge on these MHS recordings.  The SQ on many of these is very, very good.  They recorded many well know conductors and orchestras.  I did not realize Naxos made LP"s.  Like MHS, Naxos mad a ton of recordings in the CD world that were affordable--often of lesser know musicians.  I find their box sets can be a huge bargain--just like my MHS find!  

MHS started out repressing many French Erato recordings, and they were quite often excellent.  The ones I have, mainly from the 70's and Eighties, are typically very clean and well recorded.  They had a big hit with the Pachelbel Canon (sp.) which literally emerged from the grave and now is heard at weddings everywhere.  Amazingly there some Lyrita records in there too....found an Arnold Bax symphony in my lode just the other day.  I eventually became disenchanted with them as they got into just sending subscribers something on a monthly basis.  BTW, those Readers Digest boxes I had in college really got me into the game.  That was great stuff.  If you ever see one of those in a bin it's worthy of consideration, although one in good shape might be tough to find.

  You be a lucky man!!
