These albums are rather pricey as original pressings, the Living Stereos being Shaded Dog labels and the Decca Wide Band Grooved "Original" with blue border-back cover. These are especially noted for their full, natural sound... clarity and excellent dynamics with thunderous bass.

those are really good records, especially the espana album, which has air,body and dynamic kontrast on a fantastic scale.
will you be showing more from your collection ?
Thanks for the kind comments, ramma. I have several more I could post as time permits. It's nice to know they're appreciated! I think one of the main attractions of vinyl is in the beauty of the jackets.
the coverart is half the fun of collecting records from the " Golden Age ", and 2 nd the the sound of those records, once you get hooked you are lost :-)
I am very thankfull, that i finally have found a soulmate with the same passion for classical records from the " golden age ", it seems that there are not that many into this part of recordcollecting, most collect jazz, rock, psyck lps.
i wonder what kind of gear do you play your records on ?
By the way, i am from Denmark in Scandinavia, so i have to shop on the net to get the records i desire ( S&H is killing my budget, but that goes with collecting records ), here there is not really a lot of good records for sale in the classical department, and almost none collects classical or have interesset in good soundqualty, its all mp3 and download here :-( , it would be fun to take a trip to the USA to look for records & old ww stampcollections in yardsales, markets, record/stamp-stores, i think i would have to rent a container, to get it all home :-)
I look forward to see more from your collection
