Value for money... Bang for Buck... More sauce in Your Spoon!

(I've no idea what that last one means either, I just said it because it sounds nice :)

...But this is a disc that has a lot to be said about it, makes it well worth owning.

Firstly, It's another landmark in the Decca catalogue, as it's Cat number shows, the first of the 6000 series, and although the labels here are of the small boxed logo variety (as is mine), there is / was a wide band grooved label copy from very early on - that one will set you back over £100 a time (maybe more), but the boxed logos are plentiful and cheap (usually under £10)...

...but it's not like you could possibly be losing anything in terms of sound quality by going for the cheap option as this really does sound great, and well worth it's inclusion on the notorious TAS list... big, broad, and natural sounding, and with more than one truly great tune to showcase those qualities.

For the second thing to say is that this is concealing three little treats for the casual classical music fan in search of "that elusive tune" you know, but can't put a name to...

...As has been said here, the first track of Spartacus, on side one, was used for the theme tune to The Onedin Line TV programme... But also on side two - for theme seekers who have overlooked that side having found what they are Onedin of (:)) on side one - is to be found two noteworthy tunes in Gayaneh:

The First - Sabre Dance will instantly make you smile with recognition, and make you imagine you are in a comedy movie chase - which is always fun, and something I like to do regularly.

... And then, there's the sublime, and haunting Gayaneh's Adagio, which has been used in the Alien movie franchise, as well as 2001: A Space Odyssey (quite some movie credentials there I'd say!)

And of course...

...It's a Decca.

All round, a Classical vinyl essential that can be had at entry level price.

 Although the SXL6000 series started on September 1962, the first issues were in October of that year (SXL6001 - 6003) as a successor of the SXL 2001 - 2316 serie (Decca Classical by Philip Stuart)

"Spartacus" was the music of the seventies TV-series "The Onedin Line", with Peter Gilmore as capt. James Onedin
