What classical music did you listen to today?

[John Watt]

Taking my hunt for Sade's "Diamond Life" to ridiculous levels,
looking at each used individual CD at the Salvation Army, Goodwill and two Christian benefit shops,
probably four hours of looking and walking,
I bought a small hardcover case with booklet and CD of Mozart, looking and sounding mint, for $3.

I've found a collection of these tiles - "The Great Musicians" Fabbri and Partner's Limited (1966)- with no apostrophe either lol, at the local Adelaide weekly markets. Didn't know much about them but didn't stop me buying a "swag" (can provide translation if required) for $3 Oz each. Left some behind as was not sure about them and the other included Mozart and Wagner!

I picked up ( all in mint condition) with weird 10" 33 1/3 LP's
JS Bach part one and two, Berlioz part one and two, Tchaikovsky part three.

Apparently there are 74 in the series! Wondering if I should go back and get more, even if they are Mozart and the Flying Dutchman Wagner!
