Today was the day of the big annual sale of all of the local library's surplus stuff. This year, they are getting rid of their entire LP section. I had a field day, just look at some of th stuff I got!

Wagner "The Flying Dutchman" Chicago Symphony w/ Solti
Messiaen "Turangalila-Symphonie" London Symphony w/ Andre Previn
Respighi The Roman Trilogy Philadelphia Orchestra/ Ormandy
Wagner "Die Walkure" Vienna Philharmonic w/ Solti
Wagner "Siegfried" Vienna Philharmonic w/ Solti
Holst/Vaughn-Williams "Music for Winds" London Wind Orchestra w/ Denis Wick, (got it because the tuba players are Stephen Wick and John Fletcher.)
Vaughn-Williams Pastoral Symphony and Tuba Concerto ft. John Fletcher
Philip Jones Brass Ensemble "in Switzerland"
Tashi "Plays Messiaen:Quartet for the End of Time"
Berlioz "Symphonie Fantastique" New York Philharmonic w/ Bernstein
Mahler "Symphony No. 6" Chicago Symphony w/ Solti
Debussy "La Mer" Chicago Symphony w/ Reiner

I got many more, but I'm tired from looking through all of them. Point of this post: take advantage of library sales! If I had my way, half of the library's lp section would be in my room right now, next to semi-new turntable, (one of those fancy one's with a radio and CD player as well.)

's cool and cheap if you still own a turntable and can put up with a lot of scratches! :shock:

They couldn't take all that feedback, so they had to let him go, and replaced him with Herb Alpert. :wink:
