    I've largely given up buying LPs at boot sales - I can often get better and cheaper in charity shops these days.

    But I did pick up a rare three-LP box set of Beethoven's 3rd, 5th and 7th symphonies performed by the Vienna Philharmonic, conducted by Wilhelm Furtwangler in 1951-1954, so obviously in mono (Seraphim IC-6018. Seraphim were the top echelon of Angel Records, the US arm of EMI). All for the princely sum of £1. Both the records and the box are in pretty good condition, apart from the records being absolutely filthy. However a good clean on an RCM brought them up to a more than acceptable standard.

    Picked up a five-DVD set of Ken Burn's 'Story of the Blues' for £7, which isn't too bad (the seller wanted £10, but I beat him down).

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
