nboldock 27th Oct 2023		Classical Item [no artist listed] - 4 Duets For 2 Alto Recorders: Music Minus One Alto Recorder (Flute Or Violin)	I have a copy of this with purple labels and a 1976 copyright on the label.
nboldock 30th Apr 2017		Classical Item Netherlands Bach Collegium - Bach Edition Volume 18d: Cantatas/Kantaten Vol. IX BWV 104, 83, 50, 183 (2000)	Ha :-D It's got me now as well... lol.
nboldock 27th Apr 2017		Classical Item Kiri Te Kanawa - Kiri (1988)	I added it but it was one of a box of tapes I picked up purely for 45worlds - it's long gone.
nboldock 28th Mar 2017		Classical Item City Of Hull Youth Orchestra - 'The Norwich' Symphony No. 2 In A Minor	No release date shown although recording date stated to be 1976.
nboldock 22nd Feb 2016		Classical Item National Symphony Orchestra Of Ireland - Arnold: Symphonies Nos. 5 And 6 (2001)	Conductor Andrew Penny taught music at my school (he may still do, not sure).
nboldock 10th Feb 2016		Classical Item Mstislav Rostropovitch - Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (1959)	Nice looking thing. I've a stack of Naxos classical CDs to add here, when I get round to it.
nboldock 7th Jun 2015		Classical Item Various Artists - Favorites From The Classics (1992)	The first rule of Cassette Scanning Club is... (Incidentally it was another user, not me, who first told us about the clear tape scanning trick...though sadly I cannot remember who! But thanks).
nboldock 7th Jun 2015		Classical Item Various Artists - Favorites From The Classics (1992)	Rotate them ninety degrees before scanning and you won't get those reflected lines of light. Works a treat.
nboldock 9th Feb 2015		Classical Item Various Artists - Mozart (2002)	Yeah funnily enough I've seen a few copies of this of late in various shops... but for 25p I was finally sold! :-D Of course I may have been thinking, "hmm, this could go on Classical World..." but I'm admitting nothing!
nboldock 6th Feb 2015		Classical Item Various Artists - Mozart (2002)	I bought this from the charity shop completely new and unopened (for the grand sum of 25p) - it seems The Classic Composers was a mail order series. The package I have includes all the leaflets, letter and bumph that came with it. I'll scan the relevant bits (some of it is just unrelated marketing junk mail). Should the label be Delta Music??? Another query with this is that although the copyright notice says 2002 (well, MMII to be precise), I Googled it and found a conversation on a forum from 2008 where people were saying they had just received these through the post... gone with 2002 for now but possibly some clarification needed at some point.
nboldock 5th Feb 2015		Classical Item Nigel Kennedy - Kafka (1996)	This was Nigel Kennedy's first album of original compositions. "Melody In The Wind" (which also features Stephane Grappelli) is fantastic.
nboldock 22nd Jan 2015		Classical Item Benjamin Britten - Songs & Proverbs Of William Blake (1969)	"makes me feel like a dog looking at a door knob" - LOL Reminded me of something Bill Hicks said... "he looked like a dog that's just been shown a card trick".
nboldock 30th Dec 2014		Classical Item Various Artists - Editor's Choice December 2001 (2001)	Tracks 14 to 17 are a competition to "identity the four pantomime pieces", hence the performers/titles/composers are not given.
nboldock 7th Dec 2014		Classical Item Kathleen Ferrier - Schubert And Schumann Recital (1954)	Added sleeve variants which (incorrectly, it seems) credits John Newmark as pianist instead of Phyllis Spurr. The insert credits Spurr. Newmark only features on the final track. Is this an early cover, i.e. with a printing error that was then corrected???
nboldock 13th Nov 2014		Classical Item Concertgebouw-Orchester, Amsterdam - Mahler: Symphonie Nr. 1 "Der Titan" (1981)	Great, thanks.
nboldock 12th Nov 2014		Classical Item Concertgebouw-Orchester, Amsterdam - Mahler: Symphonie Nr. 1 "Der Titan" (1981)	Bit suspicious about the date on this one; I suspect it's actually a later reissue. Anyone...?
nboldock 10th Sep 2014		Classical Item Various Artists - The Golden Age Of Strauss Volume 2	See also Volume 1.
nboldock 21st Aug 2014		Classical Item New Philharmonia Orchestra - Music Inspired By The Film "Excalibur" (1981)	Not sure why the London Phil are shown on the front, they are on the album but not on these pieces!
nboldock 13th Aug 2014		Classical Item Jenő Jandó - The Complete Haydn Piano Sonatas (2008)	Phemonenal work entering this - well done sir!
nboldock 16th Jul 2014		Classical Item London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Malcolm Sargent - The Planets, Op. 32 (1958)	I don't have the sleeve for this, unfortunately.
nboldock 15th Jul 2014		Classical Item Antal Doráti - Tchaikovsky 1812 (1987)	Is this European? It's got the total timing in three languages on the back...
nboldock 14th Jul 2014		Classical Item Various Artists - The Golden Age Of Strauss Volume 1	See also Volume 2.
nboldock 8th Jul 2014		Classical Item Ludovico Einaudi - Divenire (2006)	We have another one of his albums though I can't remember what it's called. Equally superb. EDIT: It's "Una Mattina".
nboldock 7th Jul 2014		Classical Item Ludovico Einaudi - Divenire (2006)	I have this album (albeit in electronic format only, sorry) - it's absolutely wonderful.
nboldock 10th Jun 2014		Classical Item Richard Rodney Bennett - Partita For Orchestra (1995)	Looks ok as it is to me.
