A vinyl record album is displayed upright on a wooden stand above a stereo component. The cream-colored cover features dark blue text reading “An Evening of Elizabethan Verse and Its Music,” with W. H. Auden credited prominently alongside the New York Pro Musica Antiqua and director Noah Greenberg. The lower half contains a red Renaissance-style illustration showing musicians performing in a tiled hall beneath an arched window, with a small winged cherub in the foreground. The Odyssey “Legendary Performances” logo appears along the left side. The record is protected by a clear plastic sleeve, and part of a large reel-to-reel tape deck is visible at the bottom of the image.

Look what I found for $2 at a thrift store!

No one cares about classical vinyl, especially old vinyl—never mind something as obscure as this.

But it features both New York Pro Musica Antiqua and W.H Auden, and I’m such a sucker for this kind of antiquarian weirdness.

I suspect whoever bought this previously acquired it simply as a status symbol because the vinyl is unplayed. But I’m giving it a solid listen for the next week.
