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

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?
