 Whenever i'm crate digging and I find a Weill / Brecht record I have to bring it home and this is the result.

 Very impressive collection!

Back in the day, I performed in The Little Mahagonny and Three Penny.

Here's my favorite suite version with very good sound. Kicks the CD version to the curb. Seriously.

 I've used that as an evaluation/demo record for years. Great recording (Ludwig mastered) with very natural tonalities.

 Just counted my vinyl issues of Weill's music -- 34 in total, which include boxed sets. The early stereo Columbia recordings of Three Penny Opera and Happy End, plus the mono recording of Mahagony, all with his wife Lotte Lenya, are essential listening. As is the 78 rpm recording of the original Berlin cast of Three Penny Opera. I have multiple versions of this, including a 10-inch boxed reissue on Telefunken. Also included in my count are Weill's American musicals. Somehow the composer easily made the transition. He died much too early.
