Rush, thanks for the scoop, I did not know the story behind the Speakers Corner 45s. I can understand the limited market for this product; as I said, I'm tired of buying multiple formats of the same recording, but after hearing it this was just too good to ignore. I cannot understand the bad reviews this record got; I can only attribute them to people whose listening priorities are not close to mine. The 45 prm version gets rid of so much of the muddiness and congestion that I hear on the 33-1/3 rpm version (partially a function of my vinyl rig, perhaps) that it's almost like listening to a completely different recording.
Russ and Rush-
I hope the two of you are happy. All this talk of "Mendelssohn in Scotland" Speaker's Corner reissue caused me to come home from work and spin it.

I had originally planned to put on a guilty pleasure and give Michael Jackson's "Thriller" a listen.....
Ah, see what an aesthetically pleasing evening we enticed you into? Good we don't leave you to your own devices. :-)
My 12 year old wanted to hear it. Even though "Thriller" was released 15 years before she was born, it still has an impact. Kids of her generation like the title track. My soul remains intact and dedicated to the classical genre.... ;)

The biggest selling LP of all time at 50 million copies, and after yesterday, likely to sell many, many more.
