A true story:
Last Sunday after seeing "The Killing Fields" the
previous night, I felt an uncontrollable urge to
listen to TURANDOT while doing my taxes.
Unfortunately I do not own TURANDOT on CD.
Thus I was faced with a dillemma: either I could
listen to the music I *really* felt like listening
to *OR* I could use my valuable listening time to
enjoy my CD player.
This was no small decision; I have not used my
old turntable since acquiring the CD player except
to compare my vinyl edition of YAZ "upstairs at Eric's"
vs. my CD edition of YAZOO "upstairs at Eric's".
I finally decided that my desire to listen to
TURANDOT outweighed the considerable loss in
fidelity I would have to endure to listen to a
vinyl edition of the music. Thus it was with a
sense of resignation that I approached the spare
bedroom where I keep my old vinyl collection.
Anyway, to make a long story short: it turns
out I don't even own a copy of TURANDOT in VINYL!
So you see, all this deliberation and internal
debate for NOTHING! BOY, did I feel like a BOZO!
