Thanks

Morning Jeff. My sister bought it at a vinyl fair of all places! I have never seen it before or since. The sleeve notes list the publisher as Milarepa Audiofile Recordings. Cat # 449 719-2. Italy 1998.

I suspect you will only find it as a download now but it is worth having.

Drop me an email if you need further info...

Ewen, Oliver and Adrian can answer best, but they are all sleeping .... it's still early here West Coast US.

so to start try www dot stevehoffman dot tv/discography/DCC

I'm still up!! - watching the TV though. I think you'll find that Smiley Miles buys most of these DCC discs second hand largely from the Hoffman forum. He has also been collecting them for many years so he also collected a lot of them new as they were released.

You will also find some at dccblowout.com. I'm sure he will be along soon with more info as he is in Sydney and it is only early afternoon there.

Cheers
Adrian

Well there you go, he beat me to it.

Now the cool thing is that if you sign up for the whole AF Gold CD or LP series you receive little presents with it along the way. Not sure what to make of the first one so that comes with Alice Cooper's 'School's Out'.

Oliver didn't know about the little pressie. What's the postage charge like from AF as that's usually the thing that puts me off buying direct?

Prokofiev - Lieutenant Kijé suite; Symphony No.2: Erich Leinsdorf, David Clatworthy and BSO; RCA. LP

Lt.Kijé is perfect snowbound listening

Schubert - String Quartet No.14, Gabrieli Quartet

Du Pré & Barenboim, Elgar cello - live, not as well recorded as EMI studio set under Barbirolli but emotionally stronger

Not sure how mch 24k gold you can squeeze out of one of these discs but I'm pretty sure that the real thing is still worth a lot more than the natural resource. Ask me again once the ounce gets to $24K.

Here is the deal: Pressies only come with the Platinum subscription. You have to pay a one time $50 fee but you get 15% off all future releases and you get one of the low limited edition numbers assigned to you for the whole series (I got #60). Two releases will always be shipped at the same time for an International flat rate of $10.95. Very reasonable me thinks.

Remind me again, which Woody Allen movie uses the Lt.Kijé suite...

cheerful music, Indeed (considering the background...)

Just got back from the Cheltenham vinyl fair where I finally managed to replace my all time favorite jazz album which I lost years ago...
