bobzyeruncle 9th Jun 2016		Classical Item London Symphony Orchestra, Istvan Kertesz - Dvorak: Symphony No.8 (1963)	Haha! The analogy is nearly accurate, though. Over time (and it didn't take long.) The inner sleeves would get fused to the record, leaving gunk behind that you can't clean. The road to Hell is paved with old FFRR inner bags.
bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2016		Classical Item English Opera Group - The Burning Fiery Furnace (1967)	Worth noting that Mr Tear was Pears' understudy at one time. His book "Tear Here" has many hysterically funny anecdotes about that. Worth seeking out a copy. It's an excellent read.
bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2016		Classical Item Various Artists - Masterworks Of The Baroque (1965)	You could try a Zero Stat gun. I live in an environment with year-round static. I've got a cork mat and even that does nearly nothing to control the problem. I may have to move. ;-)
bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2016		Classical Item London Symphony Orchestra, Istvan Kertesz - Dvorak: Symphony No.8 (1963)	On the topic of Decca's vinyl quality, I'm wondering when they switched to the 'streaky vinyl' formulation. Under strong light, there is an odd black and grey sunburst pattern to many of them. At first I thought it might be a remnant of the poly lined sleeves, but apparently it isn't.
bobzyeruncle 6th Aug 2014		Classical Item Daniel Varsano - Satie Piano Works (1992)	How are these, compared to the Ciccolini recordings?
