slipknot1
Borodin's Orchestral Music, Tjeknavorian/NPO, RCA CRL3 2790 (3LP box set) - nice performances!

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.
Today, so far:
Faure "Requiem Op. 48" Chorus and Orchestra of the Church of St - Eustache, Paris/Emile Martin (Nonesuch H-7158)

Emerson Lake & Palmer "Emerson Lake & Palmer" (Cotillion SD 9040)

Bill Evans Trio "Waltz For Debbie" (Riverside 9399)

Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" (Columbia Half - Speed Mastered Promo copy)
Elgar, "Enigma Variations" - Monteux/LSO (RCA LSC 2418, Classic Records reissue) - another excellent Kenneth Wilkinson engineered recording for RCA under contract with Decca. One of the great performances of this work. The Classic Records reissue is a bit bright and "hard" sounding, but with excellent resolution and full range sound.

Schubert, "Symphonies 1 and 2" - Bohm/BerlinPO (DGG 2530 216) - very nice performances

Schubert, "Arpeggione Sonata for Cello and Piano" - Rostropovich -vc, Britten -pf (Decca reissue on King SuperAnalogue 9123) - superb performance
