I always felt that food and water would be better if stuck on desert island than a record that you can't even play. :)

You can use it like a weapon to hunt wild animals, mono BN in plastylite can be more deadly then a boomerang.:D

A modern-ish, "Four Brothers" style sax section, really hoary repertoire, dance-band charts try to split the difference (but don't really succeed), and whoever Rosalind Patton was, she sounded pretty good in a very Ginny Powell-ish way.

Jus about to give it a spin. A Boulez maven tells me that this is by far the best recording of Le Soleil Des Eaux, and I've heard good things about Dorati's Chronochromie and Les Bander-Log.

Just hope the used LP is in decent shape. I just bought a used Odyssey LP of works by Maderna snd Schuller, and the surface noise was louder than the admittedly rather quiet music. When I contacted the bastard third-party seller on Amazon, he  said, 'Tough s---; we didn't grade it "like new."'

 Some of the performances are a bit dated in style (though still good for the most part) but the version of Thomas Tomkins' stunning madrigal "Fusca, in thy starry eyes" is worth many times the $2 I paid for this vintage two-LP set.

Yep - an unlikely combination but seems to work well enough. I am unfamiliar with her ‘schlager’ material/style, it is about as well known here in the UK as TV showings of ‘Dinner For One’ i.e. pretty well unknown. :)
