Damn, I'm cleaning all my records and am out of order for the moment
(that's a major reorganisation of 3-4,000 LPs!) and I know I cleaned a
nice-looking version of that a few days ago. I'll come back on it when
I have found it and played it. Otherwise, it's my SET and horns that
was described as 'the best drum sound I have ever heard' by a friend
who works in a hifi shop a few months ago - *and* I've put better
drivers in since! That was back on Fostex drivers and even I would say
they don't do **bass*!!


Drum sound? Drum kits have no extreme bass.
The 32 ft organ pipe in the Saint-Saens does, and you need rather special
speakers and a large room to hear it properly.
