I'm going through 2 boxes of LP's a friend dropped off last year. Now that I have a record cleaner I can clean and play them safely. I will post here only what I like, so don't worry that I will flood this thread with crap.

We all know Gaite Parisienne, and this version is OK (can;t listen to too much of this myself). The real gem on this record is Chopin's Les Sylphides on side 2.

Now this is a really nice record

Louis Armstrong plays W.C. Handy (LP)

Now this is one damn dynamic album. Holy cow!!!

Persuasive Percussion - vol 2

- a bit scratched and not in pristene condition, but still worth listening to. A bit bright but holy cow, if all records had this kind of sound ...
- I've also got vol 3, but it has no sleeve and looks really bad. We'll see.

This is Sinatra

cleaned up well but still sounds a bit closed in. I thought this album was a kind of Sinatra classic?

Herb Alpert - The Brass Are Comin'
- nothing special here, rather dry performances
