Solti/CSO's 9th from the 70s.
Startling dynamics and low distortion. Probably the best sounding 9th on record I have heard so far.
But his performance always leaves me cold. The best part on this set is the Chicago Chorus where the orchestra takes backseats. The power of chorus, even my system will never be able to duplicate the real time dynamics, is overwhelmingly beautiful.
Same, here, Kuma, my favorite 9th for a very long time. I preferred playing it on my Tandberg reel to reel tape recorder, avoiding the interruption of the vinyl flipping .

And herewith is the not singular advantage of iTunes.
No limit on the length for the section of music you want to listen to.

By Jove! Do the Cobras sound as good as they look?
Totally different from the album before - still getting my head around it, which doesn't mean that I don't like it...
Live, he was a force of nature.

If you like Detroit garage rock music the answer is yes.
Steamhammer on vinyl.
Tord Gustavsen official live recording 2003.
Agnes Obel official live recording
John Mellencamp official live recording
Ansermet's NINTH.
Skilfully directed and professionally presented but somewhat academic. There's nothing to fault but I get the feeling Dr. Ansermet is going down the score line item by line item with calculator in his hand following the exact markings and timing.
Sutherland gives a good shot but gasping for air after hitting the last high C. Short fast exit to the finale.
Oistrakh's '55 US debut album with Ormandy/Philly.
i am enjoying this as the first step in my musical journey today. Will hope to get some new music today if my Qobuz discount will now really work
