(A half-speed mastered Lp of Boulez conductiong Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, FWIW.)
I was a junior in high school. Raiders of the Lost Ark had just come out. I hadn't. No cell phones, no computers, 13 TV channels, most of which went off the air around 11PM. My parents ordered special box for the top of the TV that played R rated movies (!) called "Showtime." MTV played from 4PM to 9PM.
I'd check the Base library for the latest Stereo Review. They'd review a few Classical releases each month; that was the extent of my pre-purchase research, like it or not. (What was that new Lp label with the incredible bass drum sound?)
Mom, can I borrow the keys to the car and drive 7 miles to Music Land? Or 30 miles to the nearest Wherehouse?

- Ahhh... ORMANDY and his PHILADELPHIANS! - Tone! 20:51:04 09/29/14 (6)
- Agreed on the Beecham Rimsky. I've not heard the Ormandy in ages. Sadly Columbia engineers weren't kind. - jdaniel@jps.net 22:03:07 09/29/14 (5)
- SONY ESSENTIAL CLASSICS... - Tone! 20:11:21 09/30/14 (4)

- Is the SZELL/CO/FLEISHER Beethoven 5th really that bad? - Tone! 21:00:40 09/30/14 (2)
- I generally do not buy Columbia records, but that is more of a hold-over from my 78 days... - J. S. Bach 13:12:51 10/01/14 (0)
- IMHO Columbia string sound can be a bit tizzy or "hot." nt - jdaniel@jps.net 21:17:54 09/30/14 (0)

- 200 miles to a whorehouse. But hello, at 16 I was reading about well-captured bass drums. Can we say virgin? - jdaniel@jps.net 08:14:24 09/28/14 (0)
