Sorry about the size, for now. I'll try and shrink them in a bit. (EDIT: shrunk)
Trashed cover; but, the record cleanup nicely.

Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

Hi Biff
I have the Manuel de Falla, but not with that cover. I'll dig it out and take a look.
Shostakovich - Symphony No. 13, Previn, LSO, EMI [vinyl]
My favourite recording of this work, even better than the later Haitink. Notable for its deep sense of foreboding, emphasised by the very well recorded, menacing bass drum and brilliant soloist.

Martin,
I just looked and I don't have any Shostakovich. Sibelius... check. Stravinsky... check. Shostakovich... nada, zip, zilch. I guess I need to fix that now on your recommendation.

Great recommendation Martin, The Previn Shostakovich Sym No 13 is a beautiful record and was one of the last EMI analogue recordings engineered by that great duo Christopher Parker & Christopher Bishop. Parker had a close working relationship with Walter Legge and the Philharmonia orchestra and was responsible for a substantial number of the great EMI / Columbia recordings.
I would love to listen to Chris Parkers "Oral History of Recorded Sound" but it seems is only available to members of a licensed UK higher or further education institution.
