Our local Discount Records recently had a shipment of 12" classical 45s;
clearly a ripoff at their list (or even regularly discounted) prices, they`re
a very good buy at roughly $3. per disc, even counting in the reduced playing
time.  Longer selections just take two discs.  THey`re not much better
(if at all) than good LPs though.

ANother question: does anybody have the Columbia LP of Kubelik conducting
the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orch. in Mozart Symphonies 38, 39 (and another
record of 35, 36).  This is ostensibly a digital recording, which sounds
so bad as a CD I`m wondering if the CD mastering got screwed up.  By
"so bad" I mean lack of detail, diminished highs, muddy bass, everything
you`d have expected to hear in 1958.
