My Decca Mikado is not only record 1 of 2, it's in changer format, so I only have sides 1 and 4, and the back of the sleeve only gives the first half of the tracks/ songs guide / listing: "Continued on sleeve 2" it says :(
And I don't think you can just add Side 1 and then 4 here with nout in be-twixt.
So I'll just have to play the waiting game, and be incredibly lucky in finding record 2 sometime
(Unless some kind soul has both records, and can add them)
... When someone else adds the other one we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
I have passed over a few nice looking records for this reason, when they have that "Record 1/2 of a 2 record set, and you can't find the other one there... it seems like to much bother to wait for the other to turn up, and only offering half a listening experience too puts me off... but maybe I'll just start grabbing them anyway, and one day start a "records reunited" website to pair off stray copies, and match them with counterparts :)
(even worse when it's a three record set! Why didn't they just issue them in a box?)
Unfortunately not. It is a re-release, under ALP.1298/1299, year of issue is 1958. This record is a later release, a resale issue as the text in the perimeter says.
But I do what you're doing too....Keep my peepers open......:)
(I have a Decca SKL Mikado, which is one half of a two record set... but haven't entered it yet as I didn't know if both records of such a set ought to be entered individually, or on the same page... as each may may have been sold separately (?))
Just read the "Winterreise" book written by Ian Bostridge. Amazing. Now you listen to the music and lyrics from another view. Beautiful interpretation of the work. Although it was really cold in those days because of the eruption of the Tambora vulcano in the Dutch East Indies (there was no summer in 1816), the lyrics ofWilhelm Müller are about the struggeling in men's life.
