The year before - when I was sharing hi-fi with my soon-to-become best man - we borrowed the entire avant-garde classical/American rock album collection of one of the post-grads who didn't have the means to play them. He certainly had the Morton Subotnick Silver Apples - and it was from his collection I got into Steely Dan, Quicksilver Messenger Service. He had a vast collection of Stockhausen, Berio, Henri Pousseur, Boulez much of the Wergo (Studio for New Music) catalogue and a lot of the Philips electronic music series. And some of the Nonesuch 'white sleeve series with music which I still love like Rochberg, Weill and Milhaud. DGP
