[f_minor] Goldberg Variations '81 Vinyl Q

[p z]

erm, sorry lads, that one looks pretty good, thanks to Ed and Marco for bringing that one up. But that site I had in mind looked quite different...

How strange it is to live in the Digital Age that Marshall McLuhan and GG predicted and yet our memory fades. Sites are untrackable, lost books in a library. 

Terry Pratchett invented L_Space where all libraries in the multiverse are connected. I for one would like to have Borges as my guide in that library. He might find some beautiful GG biographies in that library, some with a good ending, some awful, some full of splendid nonsense, some of them, perhaps, with a happy end. But since Borges will be my guide I doubt it. The Happy End I mean.

And if I will see M Motsagenon during that trip through the imaginary libraries there will be some reckoning.

>>         I just recovered in my library two albums which might answer your question.
>> The first one is labeled CBS Masterworks D37779.  The whole 1981 variations are contained in just one LP (Aria & Variations 1-15 and Variations 16-30 & Aria).
>> The second one is a 3 disk boxed set (CBS Masterworks M3X 38610), containing both the 1955 and the 1981 versions.   Disk 1 contains the whole 1955 version, Disk 2 the whole 1981 version, while disk 3 (bonus disk) contains the discussion with Tim Page.

>> Some years ago I too found the Japanese site, but at the moment I'm unable to locate it.

>>> Is it correct to say that the original vinyl release of the '81 GBs was a 2 LP set ? Given the lenght of the whole thing I assume this is so. gemm.com (which is great if you are looking for audio in any format from any genre) is not able to spill out details apart from price tags very shy below street robbery. And just for the fun of it, how are the flip sides divided ? Googlebing or vice versa is useless in this case. Could someone give me some details pls ?
>>> 
>>> And while I am here I seem to remember that years ago when Java was still Coffee and IPv6 about as far away as the next decent GG DVD release from the CBC or Sony is nowdays, some japanese collector put up a website with a collection of all GB releases in chronological order with covers plus details. Does anybody know where that site went ? The semantics in search engines also seem to be useless in this case. Can someone help plz ?
