Spinning on the Turntable now...

This is awesome music for a winter sunday afternoon. Sviatoslav Richter again.

I wish they'd talk about the actual recording sessions in the included literature: lots of verbage about Bach though & the guy must have been paid by the word as it's quite superflous.


It's probably a US reissue of this 1968 Russian LP:

I'm guessing it's from multiple recording sessions as some are miked far away with lots of room ambience, and others are close miked & louder

The album that changed my life. I heard 'Tom Sawyer" on the radio during the summer of 1981, asked my dad if he knew who did that song. He said it was Rush. That night he played this album. I was 10 at the time. I was hooked. Rush has been my favorite since them.

This is the 40th Anniversary edition from the vinyl box.

Haven’t listened to this in 25 years or more. I pulled it out today and cleaned it up and forgot how good this is. I don’t think it’s very well recorded but this was the first time I heard it on an upgraded system and it’s worth a listen. Only album I know of that gives you a preview of all the songs as a last track.

Not a “preview” per se, as it’s the last track. More of a review.

Another album that does this is Queen’s “Jazz”
