What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)

First MA disc discovered seventeen years ago.

This is one of my favourite Emperor. Beautiful orchestration that breaths the life into the music.

I believe this was his last Emperor recording at Abbey Road London. This is a US budget reissue but sound quality is excellent.

This sounds very nice but not as bashfully Beethoven as the Klemperer/Barenboim : )

Prefer the way the piano has been recorded on this version, shame this LP has too many loud pops; unless that's a few cannonballs flying around.

Another library offering:-

Classic Records 200g vinyl:

Owned it for 5 years, only listened to it a couple of times in an effort to keep it mint. Digitising it so I'll be able to hear it more often.

On CD:-

Wonderful album. Have you got their other ones? Well worth it IMHO.

What's it like.

Didn't think their last album was that good. the rehashing of old song didn't really work, but thought Kicking it at the barn was their best for decades.

Bronze 1973. Offshoot of Colosseum with John Hiseman, Paul Williams, Mark Clarke and Alan Holdsworth. On original 1st issue vinyl. If you like Colosseum try this. Recommended.

Playing the free CD that came with the vinyl : )

First play, first track sounds... okay, slightly louded cd but known a lot worse.

Remembering the King.

Have cleaned mine already and they're waiting by the LP12...

What do you think of it, Stu?

Is that The Day of the Triffids cover art? : )
