I have that one too, on vinyl, tho' to be honest, he'd lost his appeal by
then and appeared to me to be aligning himself with rather too many of those
late 70s fads- there seemed to be a drama-doc about the triangle on tv every
weekend. 
for me, his finest works were the debussy, the mussorgsky (pictures), the
stravinsky (firebird) with the holst and "night on bare mountain" running
along behind. got "pictures" on cd in austria last year but can't find the
stravinsky anywhere. the vinyls are better, though, for two reasons- they're
not surround-encoded so they don't sound all weird on a regular stereo (tho'
my third speaker thing helps slightly)
but most importantly, there's usually a HUGE gear list. I always used to
wonder who the hell "eventide clockworks" were and why no-one else ever
listed their box........
duncan.
