It's been another damp weekend not being helped here by having NO Beano although I have a subscription and another comic was a few days late too so it was find something useful to do time.
One strange quirk since the events of earlier this year has been the sporadic reappearance of things from the past presumed lost or chucked out and this has included a clutch of records but some go back ages so in order to sort them into those to stay and any that might need replacing you do need to not just look at them but play them too.
This three lp set was one on the list to check over so seeing this was going to take time I did play.
These accounts of Beethoven's later piano concertos are amongst the finest ever recorded but playing them did reveal some wear - constant noise in the groove - from the earliest record player I had apart from some wear and tear to the actual box so I think I'll replace this set as the playing is enrapturing rather like I did with the odd Beethoven symphony from the whole set I bought in the 1970's.
This will be used as the amount of new vinyl reissues for classical has been lower pop and rock although it is starting to show signs improvement.
