What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

First CD pressing. Bloody marvellous! G
Borodin's Price Igor, one of the first productions of Philips' Mariinsky series. Unlike many, this one is a studio recording in very good sound. The opera itself is high romantic Russian, very melodic with traces of Mussorgsky, Rimski and Glinka. I don't think the performance can be bettered, with Russia's best basses, their best tenor at the time (Grigorian) and Galina Gorchakova and Olga Borodina at their best.
Cheers,

Superb guitar work, great songs and 'you're there' sound! Hard to believe this is over a decade old now. G
Like Baloo in Jungle Book, I'm gone solid gone......help!!
Culture Club!!!
I assume your still on random Dusty. You must have loaded Culture Club in the first place! Are you dressed like Boy George for the occasion? 
On vinyl. Needed to relax. I am now.

EJ,
That looks to me more like a DVD package than a music CD.
