Well, I'm in the same boat. Sony should issue a Juilliard Quartet big CD box of all their Columbia recordings from the Robert Mann era. It's amazing how many of them are unavailable on CD. There were only 10 RCA LPs, but Testament in their infinite wisdom seemed not to have reissued all of that material -- only about two-thirds of it.
This is only one of many of their LPs I've been looking for. You can often find a later red label copy of this one for about $10-$15 on ebay, but sq is a crap shoot for those. Good original "shaded dog" stereo copies go for an average of $40.

I live in the Maryland suburbs of DC. There must have been a lot of classical collectors around here. For a long time I was buying Living Stereo shaded dogs, MLP's and 6-Eyes for a $1 in NM condition. Those days seem to have faded, but I still find Command Classics and Everest. As for mono, the selection is still fantastic. You can't beat the dynamics and detail on the better monos. You never know. This one might show up, or I might break down and pay ebay prices. I am sure it would be a great listen!

Yes, still lots of classical vinyl out there, but it's often been cherry picked. Collectors have even wised up to the good monos. I'm in the NYC area, where LPs are usually overpriced.
I'll be in the DC suburbs in a few days. Any brick and mortar shops you can recommend? Restaurants?
Regards,
Roy
