Whats on your turntable tonight?

I love this recording and performance, too. Britten was one of the rare few composers whose efforts as a conductor of his own music created definitive performances of his works.

benjamin britten - "young person's guide to the orchestra & serenade for tenor, horn and strings," on the decca/london label

van morrison, "tupelo honey" and "the healing game"
pete townshend & ronnie lane "rough mix"
kei akagi "new smiles and traveled miles" (with bonus 45)

Autechre's new 'Quaristice" on repeated spins on both Vinyl and CD.

Borodin's Orchestral Music, Tjeknavorian/NPO, RCA CRL3 2790 (3LP box set) - nice performances!

Berg, "Lulu Suite" / "Wozzeck" (excerpts) - Dorati/LSO, Mercury SR 90278 (Speakers Corner reissue) - great performance, outstanding sonics!

COB - Moyshe McStiff & the Tartan Lancers of the Sacred Heart

This is a wonderful folk album, COB (Clive's Original Band) was lead by Clive Palmer, a founding member of the Incredible String Band who left to travel the world and came back brimming with new ideas. It's one of the most intensely personal statements I've ever heard, with all three members pulling their weight instrumentally and vocally. Sunbeam Records recently released an expanded 180g 2xLP, well worth checking out for fans of folk and psychedelic music.

others waiting to be spun:
Anne Briggs - Sing a Song for You LP
Washington Phillips - What Are They Doing in Heaven Today? LP

and i listened to Amy Winehouse - Back to Black this morning.
