Sometime life writes stories that you don’t believe. Many years ago, in 1983, i made a great mistake. I was blinded by the new coming medium CD and decided to sell many of my vinyl records, among them a lot of rare and audiophiles. OK, i made good money, but i had for years the sense to have made a very big mistake.
After a few years i realised that CD did not held the promise of the perfect sound and decided to make vinyl again to my music medium number one.
So i started to re-buy from where ever most of my super records that i gave up years before. Here in the town where i live there are a couple of nice vinyl shops. One of them is my favorite one and i know the owner very well. One fine day i was there again and i asked ihm if he has some MFSL-records, i would look specially for one of that serie: Beethoven’s ninth with Solti.
He showed me where i could find them and after one minute i saw it and my heart jumped in the sky. One minute more and i started to laugh like crazy. I recognized my own record, because of some little handwritten notices inside of the cover.
I purchased my own record again 
Wave-format. No log or cue needed, just take care to burn without break

Thanks for this. It sounds great!
FIRST OF ALL (AND THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMENT) THANKS A LOT FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC YOU SHARE WITH US. JUST ONE QUESTION: DON´T YOU THINK THAT IT´S UNFAIR TO MAKE A RIP OF AN AUDIOPHILE LP (ESPECIALLY WHEN WE´RE TALKIN ABOUT BEETHOVEN´S 9TH SYMHONY) IN A CD FREQUENCY (44.1 KHZ) INSTEAD OF 96 KHZ OR EVEN 192 KHZ? IN FACT, I CAN´T BELIEVE THAT I HAVEN´T FOUND A RIP LIKE THAT OF THIS WORK. IT WOULD BE REALLY AWESOME IF YOU COULD SHARE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AGAIN: THANKS A LOT, YOU HAVE DONE A REALLY GREAT JOB WITH THIS BLOG…BEST REGARDS…
Hi Sheen…..i do not have the technical possibility to do that…and if i could, the files would be gigantic…..too expensive (time + HD) sorry friend. But think…isn’t it a nice idea to hear the great sound (it is really great) of this record and have the wish to take away from your window you CD-equipement and return to the old good turntable and vinyl records ???
)
That’s what i think always, when i listen to records like this one: to take a hammer and destroy my CD-Player (oh, i have a very nice and expensive one…and it’s really good, but not good enough vs. Analogue)
THANKS FOR REPLYING MY FRIEND. IT´S GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU CARE ABOUT US…JAJAJA…
BAD LUCK THIS TIME…NO PROBLEM. GREAT SHARE. THANK YOU AGAIN…
Thank you for this post. Giving us access to this recording is marvelous.
It’s a discovery. This version of Solti sits amongst the most beautiful. I would place it close to Karajan’s last version (1985) or Bruno Walter’s from the 60′s. thanks a lot.
Re-buying your own record: Now that’s awesome.
But then, Elisabeth Taylor divorced Richard Burton only to marry him again.
