Listening to 'Over' by 'Wolven' who are a young group of local musicians. It's a track which I first heard played on the BL90's in my local store.

A great track and beautifully produced.

not sure where to post this but if you are lucky enough to have access to the brilliant BBCiPlayer there is a fantastic live studio performance of Mike Oldfield's link if you also watch the Mike Oldfield on iPlayer you may just see a pair of B&O speakers in his studio....

Uriah Heep/Salisbury, a monster of an album and the very one used as a demo disk to sell stereo gear at my favourite “Hi-Fi” store, Cooper Radio/St. Petersburg, Florida.

What a tangled complex and POWERFUL work. Exceptional, artistic, a period piece that defined the age.

This LP along with a few others sure as heck got me to buy my first McIntosh stereo and after not hearing it for decades, I can see why.

Totally off the subject, my local audio technician has said and said often that vinyl records decay being the plastic that they are and no matter how I have taken care of them, they don’t sound remotely as good as they did new. Had anyone else heard anything like this?

I ask because I tried a Tommy James recording and found it tinny…. but worse I put on one of my “prized” Motown original Supreme’s Greatest Hits and found it lifeless with very, VERY low volume.

I had been playing the Beocord 8004 prior and it was basically twice the volume of this LP. Then while listening to the LP with the volume cranked WAY up, an errant touch on the remote had the radio selected at a volume that about knocked me out of my chair.

So I went looking for another “vintage” LP and found the Uriah Heep…… and nothing tinny about this LP and the volume matches the Beocord.

Anyone else ever experienced this low LP volume? Or is my memory of the recording
enhanced” by time?

Ferenc Fricsay did a very good job as conductor, better than Herbert v. Karajan. "Die Moldau": At the end of the piece (last beat) you shall know where Mike Oldfield got his inspiration for his beats on Tubular Bells ...

Evan I am listening to RIGHT NOW side 3 LP of Verdi's 'Nabucco' on my B & O 5500 system coming through my 5500 Beogram through a set of Penta Speakers - sounds amazing.😁

Im listening to the Best of Fleetwood Mac

Then i will listen to Dami Im Carpenters tribute

Listening to Francoise Hardy on  my new laptop. the sound is JBL, I think. The new HP laptops sport B&O sound.  But I wanted

the i7 processor and a solid state HD so I opted for the Lenovo instead.
