In Reply to: Question about Reiner Scheherazade reissues... posted by Dman on November 13, 2014 at 08:19:08:
I was in a store yesterday and there were a large number of records from a late local collector. Batches of records from this collection have been popping up in thrifts for probably 5 years now, and they keep on coming. I started seeing a lot of Scheherazades and just for grins, I started counting them. I gave up before I got through everything and I was at 85 copies of the piece! There were some duplicates, but there had to be at least 50 different recordings. Holy cow, who has the time to listen to Scheherazade even 50 times, much less listen to all of the half-assed budget label junk that was there? I still like the piece, but even counting when I was obsessed with it as a kid, I don't think I'm up to that number. You name it, it was there. I did actually pick up a couple. I got a nice purple label of the Goossens on Everest (which doesn't get mentioned enough in these periodic discussions) and an early black label Vanguard stereo with Mario Rossi and Vienna.FWIW, I'm with Rbolaw on this one. I like the two Columbia Ormandys, although, for performance, I actually prefer the early mono to the stereo.
