Blow me down yes, and also this one: http://cd.ciao.co.uk/Prokofiev_Peter_and_the_Wolf_Symphony_No_1_Op_25_Saint_Saens_Carnival_of_the_Animals__6171436 though I'd still like it with the original artwork! A few more details on the Donald Swann website: http://www.donaldswann.co.uk/MF-LPs.htm 1989 was another country of course - I moved to The Netherlands in 1987 and hadn't even realised the Winters version existed - this kind of English language stuff not being high on lists of 'hits' in Holland. Nice try, but to me still a horribly misguided way of cheaply re-animating an existing classic recording. I know, let's digitally re-master 'The Clangers' and make it popular with the kidz by wiping Oliver Postgate and substituting Snoop Dog.... No, it's fine, really...
