Spinning Today (Classical version)

[awkwardbydesign]

Indian classical. Wot I'm playing now (my wife's not in!).


Prior to that it was-
I only have a copy of a library CD; I'd like to buy the original but can't find one.

Brahms monumental 4th symphony - played on a piano with 2 pianists!

Actually, it's rather good, in a weird kind of way.

Ok, some more charity finds (all minty vinyl @ 99p each), this time from various shops in Welshpool. Jerry, I saw your good lady and you in the British Heart Foundation this afternoon, but had to rush off because my dad, who was with me, was parked on a yellow line!

Bloody hell - it was you!

I glimpsed this Marco-looking bloke leaving as I entered a charity shop in this small obscure Welsh town - didn't register for a moment - then I thought, nah don't be daft, couldn't have been!

Yup, Welshpool this afternoon, picked up these LPs - obviously the remnants of what Marco left behind

[jandl100]

I'm a bit jealous of these that Marco beat me to ...

Hahahaha… Welshpool is only about 40 minutes from me! My car was having some work done to it nearby (in Knockin), and my dad and I were killing some time before collecting the car, so we popped into Welshpool, and I had a rummage through the charity shops for some vinyl - well, you know me!

Btw, have you checked out Retro Media in Welshpool market village? They had quite a bit of vinyl in there, and apparently had just taken in 1000s of records, but hadn’t got them out on display yet. If you don’t know of it, it might be worth checking out next time

Well, it would’ve been rather rude to have hoovered up the lot!

Marco.

Ah, so I managed to avoid buying some tat after all!

Marco.

[jandl100]

Ah, but one person's tat is another person's treasure.

[jandl100]

Marco may have beaten me to some nice classical LPs yesterday, but I picked up these the other day in a Welsh town that will remain nameless!
