1. MTT/SFS Mahler 1, on their own label. Fantastic performance, and a
very good sounding CD. Delicate, and also rocks the rafters when
appropriate.

2. Fennell/Eastman Wind Ensemble Gould: West Point Symphony. Mercury
LP SR 90220. Fantastic performances from this ensemble/conductor (as
usual) on a glorious sounding 46 year old LP, still sealed, found on
Ebay for $5.00. I already had the mono release and this stereo release,
but on records that were well-played (and the CD, of course). Fabulous
sound.

I hope the seal was in fact original, but I have my doubts, as I know from
friends who worked in dept. stores that returned LP's could be resealed in
new plastic wrap.

It was original. Having been in retail, it is quite easy to see when
something has been re-shrinkwrapped. This was in Mercury's distinctive
wrap, and the inner sleeve and the LP itself were absolutely pristine.
By the way, Mercury's price tag from when it came out was 1.98.
