Fleamarket treasure hunt #5
Finally I could find time to go to fleamarkets, after some weekends booked with other stuff. This time I was somewhat on the lucky side... if not with rarity, then at least with quantity :-). The interest in physical medias, except for vinyl records, is at an all time low at the moment, and you can practically get great things thrown at you for next to nothing. Music on CDs is one of those I am keeping a lookout for. My guess is that at some time in the not so far future, the demand for those will rise.
In the record department I grabbed a big variety of goodies. I like to find obscurities and other stuff off the beaten path. All of these were in the dollar bin boxes kind of price.
Among others...I got a Sex Pistols "Swindle" 1-record version, Bernstein playing Mozart on a wide band Decca, the electronic-classical fusion "The Well-Tempered Synthesizer" by Walter Carlos, a to me unknown "Louisiana Jazz Band" Live In Jersie with a curious silvery pineapple cover design, a fairly rare Quadrophonic copy of a Johnson & Drake album, a mid 60s folk album by Frode Veddinge, singing Aakjaer songs...
Max Webster is a Canadien prog rock band, that is very hard to find in my part of the planet, a famous recording of Mahler's 4th by Haitink - inspired by my good steemit mate @steemswede, a small label early album by classical danish flute player Michala Petri, a folk album by Noel Hariison.... and the three albums by Mikis Theodorakis... one of those artists I have not checked out well enough... and finding these in mint condition, may possibly change that
Old shellac records is a subject one can largely have in peace :-)... i do look for jazz and danish label "Metronome". Here I was treated with a couple of discs with grand old man Svend Asmussen" a jazz fiddler... at least in his early days, but with a poppy touch. A Louis Armstrong record that was not in my collection yet, also found its way home.
I got me a few nice 7" singles, canadian pressing of "Ebony and Ivory", a mint Radio Ga Ga ....
and a couple of CDs by Rainbow, Cure and MSG..
At a local scouts-market, there was a big booth with movies on dvd and some bluray. As I arrived in the last hour of opening, the dealer offerede me to fill a box of films of my choice for equiv. of 30 dollars... i counted that approx 70 boxes could fit in there and started looking through the stacks picking the good stuff Not in my collection. I managed to fill a box, and some good ones still sealed was bagged. A stack of blurays, including three in 3D went home... and add to that a pile of other goodies including music dvds, to fill the holes on my shelves.
Lastly i grabbed four books on children and psychology... a subject that interests me as a father of two. There was a literal psychology library for sale... :-)

Enjoy the Mahler 4th! You can never go wrong with Haitink and RCO when it comes to Mahler really!
I checked it on the phone, before buying, and apparently, he has done towards six diff recordings of this (and many of the other Mahlers)... this is a reissue, but absolutely mint. Beautiful :-)
Haitink is always a secure choice and the concertgebouw of this era is usually top notch (pre digital)
You've got a good one there: We need to speak about Kevin, with Tilda Swinton.
Yea, one i look forward to :-)
