I was passing a charity shop earlier today and popped in on the off chance that they may have some vinyl and picked up this little lot:
http://www.simister.com/public/bh1.jpg
Shostakovich Symphony No. 4 - The Philadelphia Orchestra/Eugene Ormandy (CBS Blue label, 1963)
Shostakovich Symphony No. 6/Prokofiev Lieutenant Kijé - London Symphony Orchestra/André Previn (EMI, 1974)
Ravel & Shostakovich Piano Trios - Trio Zingara (Phoenix Records, 1981)
Sibelius Symphony No. 1/Karelia Suite - Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra/Lorin Maazel (Decca ffrr, 1964)
http://www.simister.com/public/bh2.jpg
Shostakovich Concerto for Piano, Trumpet and Strings/Stravinsky Capriccio - John Ogdon, piano/John Wilbraham, trumpet/Adademy of St. Martin-In-The-Fields/Neville Marriner (Argo, 1972)
Saint-Saens Organ Symphony - City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra/Christopher Robinson, organ/Louis Frémaux (EMI Columbia Studio 2 Stereo, 1973)
Delius Appalachia (variations on an old slave song)/An Arabesque - Einar Norby, baritone/Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus/Sir Thomas Beecham (Fontana, 1960)
Vaughan Williams A London Symphony - London Philharmonic Orchestra/Sir Adrian Boult (EMI, 1975)

Ferde Grofe Grand Canyon Suite/Concerto for Piano and Orchestra - Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra/Jesus Maria Sanroma, piano/Ferde Grofe (The World Record Club, 1963)
Copland Symphony No. 3 - London Symphony Orchestra/Aaron Copland (The World Record Club, 1963)
All appear to be from the same collection, as they each have a date (I guess the date that the original owner purchased them) neatly written at the top left hand corner of the back of the sleeve. Also, several have a shop sticker on the back "Osborne's, 4 and 57 Parson's St. Banbury".
The Piano Trios record also has autographs of the three lady musicians on the back and has a flyer and programme from a recital given by the trio for Banbury & District Musical Society on 29th September 1981. There is also a press cutting from the Banbury Guardian reviewing the recital.
I find these little details facinating: is the shop in Banbury still trading? What about the original collector of these records? How did they end up all together in a Hospice charity shop in the Peak District?
They are all in absolutely mint condition.
I paid £10 for the lot.
