I agree it’s a great performance . There is an excellent version on YouTube from this era .
It’s a good thing that the classical fans took such good care of their Vinyl.

A record that can be found quite easily and is well worth a listen , I think I paid a pound for this which feels somewhat criminal .
An incredible violinist.

Some top-tier twanging from two of the finest pickers ever - Chet and Jerry.
I’m still hunting for Jerry’s exploring guitar country album.

A fine Sunday sermon with the high priestess of soul -
Nina Simone .
It seems she wasn’t best pleased with the Creed Taylor production on this one.
It’s still a nice recording .

Found this on the way home today .
Aretha Now
1968 mono uk release.

Had a listen to a couple of tracks and it played through fine although it’s a bit noisy .
I’ll see if a good clean improves things .

I agree completely, I’m not sure why he changed but tone wise the Strat just doesn’t have the sustain he had early on. To my ears at least 😀

Thought I’d revisit some Cream , I had a notion to hear the Tales of Brave Ulysses again .
I liked Clapton’s choice of tones during this - pre Stratocaster era of his playing .

Gustav Mahler - The Titan
Rafael Kubelik
I don’t know much about classical music but I often find it while browsing charity shops.
This one is in excellent condition and was imported to Canada at some point .

If only it were so easy to find old jazz and blues.
