Just bought it as well - in the process of downloading.
Guilty Pleasure 1988 CD ,, would anyone reccomend the 2009 Stereo version ?
I think it is one of the few things we nearly all agree about, the superiority of the 2009 remasters.
I have even even decided not to rip the 1998 masters even though I have 4 versions of DSOTM ripped, 3 versions of a lot of Rory Gallagher's albums and 2 of most of Van's as there are the odd track that sounds better on some of the masters, but for the Betales, no contest.

thanks Sloop , i will add them to my ever increasing wish list, I am always a bit sceptical with remasters as to whether there is any real improvement or significant difference other than a marketing ploy for the collecter. That said the Smiths recent remasters are worth every penny .

De Grassi, Alex - Southern Exposure

Ok so this isn't exactly a Decca but found a London pressing and this isn't bad. I was thinking getting the Speakers Corner reissue but it sounds good enough.
I am mighty impressed with Crespin clarity and sweet lyrical voice. She doesn't lose a composure at a low register or at the extreme dip coming off from the highs.
My first exposure to Roussel's work.
Copland meets Rachmaninoff and a dash of Gershwin jazz thrown in.
Lots of different colours and the cover at Dega's sketches is perfect for it. Interesting stuff.
very nice...
Savoy Brown - Blue Matter the replacement for the off center press.
very nice...
That is an understatement. Anything that Isabelle Faust plays is well worth listening to. The three other Bs - Bach, Bartok and Brahms; the Beethoven/Berg concertos and Martinu. I had the pleasure of meeting her after a concert, she was friendly and charming. The excellent Beethoven disc pictured is playing as I type.

Original Quadraphonic vinyl. Sounds awesome on my humble 2 channel system.

Savoy Brown are excellent. Have a trawl through youtube to get an idea of the style.
