I'm talking about the series 'Stationen europäischer Musik', with the 'fantastick' cover paintings, which consisted of 10 volumes of 6 LPs each (though, of course, there were other Reflexe recordings outside that series).<br /><br />The first SeM reissues appeared in the mid-price CDM 7 63... 2 series, in 1989 and 1990, and included more than half of the original issues; I bought several at the time.<br /><br />Then, in 1996, EMI tried reissuing SeM in the original order and in 'original jackets', i.e. as 6 mini-LPs in boxes corresponding to original 'Folgen'; as far as I know, they got as far as Folge II. Not surprising, as I'm sure they were too exepensive. But very nice - I have one.<br /><br />Finally, in 2000, they reissued the entire series in a 7243 8 26... 2 series. This was only issued in Germany - big mistake but increasingly typical of EMI and other companies, as they lost the plot. I hoovered up all the discs I was missing at MDC, when they were remaindered dirt-cheap.<br /><br />The 'Electrola Collection', which includes these two 'Camino de Santiago' discs, is a mish-mash. Yes, it includes very nice things: 1960s opera & operetta rub shoulders with some SeM discs, alongside yet older and newer early music discs, bits of Sabine Mayer and Ulf Hoelscher... Maybe, over time, it'll build up into a meaningful collection - but, of course, it will hardly be marketed, so nobody will notice it, so nobody will buy it, so it will be terminated and deleted... E la solita storia!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447090393898006955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-76981799440759944602012-03-21T10:33:18.324+00:002012-03-21T10:33:18.324+00:00OK, I know that the wording should read in the cas...OK, I know that the wording should read in the case of Lloyds TSB, reducing the £3.5 billion <b>loss</b> - http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2012/0224/breaking5.htmlPliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.com
