Five more records were added to the discography this week. They include rare titles such as Schubert’s Trout Quintet by the Festival Quartet, and Ballet Music from the Opera from Fistoulari/PCO. Also added was a gatefold copy of Spain by Reiner/CSO, a Goodwill-provided Schubert’s Death and the Maiden by the Juilliard String Quartet, and Virtuoso Favorites by Erick Friedman.
Exciting! Not much further to go until we have all the titles in the 1806-2799 series covered. If you know of anyone with an extra copy of the Faust/Carmen, Witches Brew, or Liliane Garnier Recital records sitting around, please let me know :).

Today I added 10 more records to the discography. These include several multi-record sets as well as a few from the single series. The multi-record discography page is still looking a little bare, but the single record pages are really starting to fill in. With luck, we’ll have another dozen or so to add in the coming week or two. As I mentioned before, soon I’ll be adding photos of inserts for records that have them. Also stay tuned for other exciting improvements and additions planned for 2012. Lots to look forward to!

This week I added 60 new record pages to the discography. The new record pages include front and back cover photos, as well as label photos when available. The additions include some rare and valuable titles such as:
Some alternative covers were also added for records released with more than one. Thanks to Chris Hite of Clarion Records for letting me photograph so many fine records from his collection. There are now only a handful of record pages not included in the single-record section of the discography. Look for most of these to be added in the coming weeks. We will also be adding many missing photos of labels and inserts. Exciting!

The multi-record sets were added to the discography today, including the praised and rare LDS-6065 – The Royal Ballet – Ansermet. Check out the new Discography (LSC-6052 to LSC-9300) page. This page will have a lot added to it in coming weeks and months. There will also be a large number of gaps filled in the single-record series very soon. Exciting!
By the way, I’ve heard from many visitors during 2011. They say this site is a valuable resource. In 2012, I intend to make it even more valuable. In addition to high quality photos, this site will include detailed information about each record, including things like release date and mono equivalent. See details on the About page.
Happy listening!

The rare and expensive LDS 6065 — The Royal Ballet, Gala Performances conducted by Ernest Ansermet — is considered by many to be the most desirable title in the Living Stereo series, and it will be coming soon to this website.
Thanks to the generous Scott Campbell of Scott Campbell LPs, I was able to photograph this exceptional 2LP set in all its glory. Below is a shot of the clothbound slipcase. I’ll be adding the rest of the shots, as well as a new section devoted to the multi record sets, in coming days. Enjoy!
