Aztec Two-Step "Aztec Two-Step" (Electra EKS-75031)

Yes "Fragile" (Atlantic/Analogue Productions AAPP 7211)
Joe, what do you think of Haitink's Bruckner Nr. 9? I have this on my wish list, but haven't run across a copy. I do have his performance of the Nr. 7 and like that performance (though I tend to gravitate back to one or another of the Jochum performances).
.
Woops, sorry Joe. I mis-read and now see you were listening to Haitink's Mahler 9th. Must have Bruckner on the brain after listening through the Jochum cycle recently.
.
Today (so far)
Emerson Lake & Palmer "Brain Salad Surgery" (Manticore MC66669)

Emerson Lake & Palmer "Pictures at an Exhibition" (Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab MFSL 1-031)

Stravinsky "Firebird" Dorati/LSO (Mercury SR90226) 33 rpm 200 gram reissue.

As my previous post and today's posts indicate, I have been on an ELP tear the last few days. Running through different pressings of their recordings. I have never been impressed with the sonics on most of their recordings. That said, the MOFI "Pictures" is pretty good, as is the Manticore pressing of "Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Ends" live set. Most disappointing in my collection has been every pressing I own of "Brain Salad Surgery". If someone can recommend a good pressing, please advise.
