Whats on your turntable tonight?

Question for Slipknot1: Do you have any Slipknot on vinyl?

Crazy4blues,
If you mean the group, no. My user name is from my favorite Grateful Dead song. I'm not into metal...

Tonight:
Holst "The Planets" von Karajan/Berlin (DG 2532 019)
Stravinsky "Firebird" Dorati/London (Mercury SR90226) Classic 200g reissue
Pink Floyd "Live in Zurigo" (Wind Records BP 0013) Badly recorded and transfered two LP bootleg set consisting of excellent performances of DSOTM, One Of These Days, Careful With That Axe Eugene, Echoes from 1973 or 1975
Grateful Dead "Live/Dead" (Warner "green lable" 1830)

Beethoven "Symphony No. 9 "Choral"" Solti/Chicago SO (Mobile Fidelity MFSL 2-516) As a rule, I have always found the MoFi pressings a little disappointing. Not so the case with this one. Quiet surface, good sonics, excellent performance of this warhorse by the Chicago Symphony and Chorus. Recorded in 1972 and originally released by London. The third movement has always been my favorite, and this recording delivers a very nicely paced, emotional 3rd.
Beach Boys "Holland" (Reprise MS 2118) Recorded in the Netherlands in 1972. Many pressings of this abound, as does the quality. Unfortunately, this is not a great one. The Beach Boys were experimenting with quadraphonic sound during this period and this was recorded on a 30 input quad console. Some interesting tunes, very much away from surfer tunes. This has a very country feel to it.

Vivaldi, Viola D'Amore Concertos, Rolla/LisztFerencChO, Barsony -va, Hungaraton SLPX 12162 (Hungaraton made some beautiful recordings during the analog days, this is certainly one of them)

Holst, Hymn of Jesus/The Perfect Fool/Egdon Heath, Boult/LPO, London CS 6324 (The Hymn of Jesus is a wonderfully powerful work for 2 choruses and full orchestra; Egdon Heath is arguably one of Holst best works for orchestra, but hushed and delicate.)

Bartok, Divertimento for String Orchestra, Barshai/MoscowCO, London reissue by Super Analogue 9108 (another superb Kenneth Wilkinson recording!)

Slipknot - and speaking of Kenneth Wilkinson, the Solti Beethoven 9th is a good example of his work, albeit with a few more mikes than his best. But, a GREAT performance, imo, served very well by the recording engineer.

For anyone looking for this Solti recording of the 9th, it is now available in the marvelous Speakers Corner series of reissues of the Decca classical catalog.
