            Is that the Glory Soundtrack? If so, I had no idea they released that. That would be a must find for me.

                Gounod/Carmen (45 rpm) (though my goto now is the AP pressing)

                Sarah McLachlan: Surfacing
                Holly Cole - Temptation (tho the last 2 are rather noisy)

                      Have you had good luck with these? I ask because I heard that some of the early 200g pressings had quality/noise issues?

                        My Tubular Bells 200g exhibits some very slight noise, but it's still quite wonderful. All others have been fine.

                      "Casino Royale OST" would have been one of my favorites from Classic, but I later found my original, and that was that.

                          The LZ releases seem to be the most popular and command astronomical prices today.

                            ITTOD is one I hope to find for a decent price one day. (Good luck with that Johnny).

                            I bought the entire 2014-2015 LZ reissue series, and ITTOD is one of the best recorded titles of the series.
