[sdiy] Tomita - list problems

[James Patchell]

It well may be that is why I like this album the best...nice...clean.  The 
Planets I also like...Kosmos is also pretty good...however...when I 
purchased that recording...(I have one of the "Blue" pressings)....there 
was some sort of oily substance on the disc that ended up destroying a $300 
stylus (I was a bit bent out of shape...)...although...that is when I 
started cleaning my phonograph records with a washing mechanism before I 
played them...(there was a store in town that would change $1 to wash a 
disk...it did a real good job...sure made those phonograph records nice and 
noise free)....

I am not so sure about the Firebird...it just never seemed as "dynamic" as 
a good orchestral recording...still...tastes differ.

I also have a quadraphonic recording of Snowflakes as well...(but on CD)...
