Not sure if that's the right term... I mean bands like Blood, Sweat & Tears, early Chicago, Tower of Power, Ides of March. I'm sure there are others. What's the concensus on this style?

Well, it’s been one whole year since I bought a complete Beethoven piano sonata cycle, so I thought it obvious I should buy a new one. Kovacevich? Well, no. Not yet anyway. That’ll come in due time. No, I decided to take the cheap route...

HiI recently bought a bargain priced set of Mendelssohn symphonies. As usual, it included not much by way of notes on the music. Does anyone know of a web site where I can get a translation into English please? I have tried Google but with no luck.Any...
Today for the first time I played a CD I've owned for a while. The playing side of the disc is black(!) and when I play the disc the transport of my player makes lots of whirly, spinning noises. It could be me, but the CD also seems thicker than my...
