Whatever,
I know you seem fond of very short notes: I’ll be brief.
By the time CDs came out
I had already collected over 6,000 LPs of both Opera and instrumental classical music. I kept those LPs until 2006 because there just was no market for old LPs in the USA.
Your website has been such a boon to me to replace so much of what I had and more with CDs and Rachmaninov’s Hi Def LPs.
A Huge salute and thankyou to you and your Italian/German friend.
Thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks!
That goes for this Great Operatic Singers treasure trove also!
