Last year's thread can be found here;

Marc Bolan T.Rex - Greatest Hits.
Following Her Frappness ................. what else could I possibly play?
Pic disc 1978(?)...
Unofficial compilation of unreleased studio and radio Sid (sic!) Barrett recordings, both solo and as a member of Pink Floyd made between 67-68.
ken c posted:this is one of 2 vinyl classical records i bought (i think in HMV Oxford St) when i was at Uni -- i.e. a looooong time ago. i was a frequent browser in that shop -- spent more than i should have there, given limited grant funds etc..
the other vinyl was Beethoven Violin Concerto -- i will find it and post later. As i recall, it took some time to get used to it -- and one my friends was surprised i was even venturing into this 'Classical' stuff. "Stick to Jethro Tull, Ken"...
But these 2 records i now consider quite special in my collection -- and i have since bought the CD version of Beethoven Violin Concerto...
enjoy...

One of the concertos was modified by Flanders and Swann as the "Ill Wind" (French Horn Song) to great comic effect. https://g.co/kgs/ULIfZZ
I also have this LP and the earlier Dennis Brain version of the 1950s in mono.

For me this recording perfectly captures a live concert.
I only have one recording of the Modern Jazz Quartet, so I am not very familiar with their music.
However, this recording I enjoy very much.
Half a dozen trax off the new Roger Waters album.

Get 'Dedicated to Connie' - An even (much) better, more fluent and bristling live set. TLC a bit formulaic by comparison imho.

Enjoying the Bartok CDs!
Good mono & live recordings from the early 50s -
even though the audience bronchitis is a bit off tunes : )
