PS - The occasional slow B-side might not get listened to all the way through... ;^)

Lots of Gram Parsons for this evening. International Submarine Band, G.P., Grievous Angel, Another Side of This Life and Sweetheart of the Rodeo. All of them 180g re-issues except for the Byrds LP. Has Sundazed or another company re-released it on quality vinyl?

Can't get enough of the lonesome cosmic american music.

Mahler "Symphony No. 1" Horenstein/LSO (Unicorn RHS 301)
Mahler "Symphony No. 3" Horenstein/LSO (Unicorn RHS 302/303) Thanks for the loan Rush!!
Holst "Choral Hymns From The Rig Veda" Imogen Holst/English Chamber Orchestra/Purcell Singers (Argo ZNF 6)

Ella Fitzgerald, "Ella in Berlin", Verve 9008, just released Japanese reissue in a superb remastering from the original analog tapes. As Red Trumpet quotes on its web site:

Her live performances are legendary and "Ella in Berlin" captures one of the greatest displays of jazz vocal improvisation in concert. Including her amazing rendition of "Mack the Knife", this recording showcases the virtuosity of Ella at the peak of her performing prowess.

Believe every word of the above. If you like Ella, this is a must have LP and this is the reissue to have.

Slipknot, glad you've had time to listen to the Mahler! Ah, and the Holst, as well. Has to be a good evening at your place. :-)

Sonny Rollins - Tenor Madness [Prestige reissue mono LP] With Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. John Coltrane guests on the title track.

Sonny Rollins - Newk's Time [Blue Note Japanese reissue stereo LP] With Jones, Wynton Kelly and Doug Watkins. I especially like the unaccompanied sax + drums only treatment of "Surrey With The Fringe On Top". Rudy van Gelder recorded this date, and the stereo presentation is realistically understated - somewhat atypically for the era - rather than being rhythm in one channel and solo in the other.
