The reason the first release is so rare is that Holt's granddaughter kicked up
a stink, claiming it was an 'abomination'. RCA decided it wasn't important
enough to fight so just withdrew it. It disappeared off the shelves just before
I could get to a record shop to buy it (having heard a friend's copy). It then
remained in limbo for very many years :(
Just because I happened to have a rather nice half-track stereo Brenell at the
time didn't mean I was going to take a copy - oh no :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

I met his version of Pictures At An Exhibition while I was in high
school. I was studying that piece on piano with my piano teacher.
According to the Wikipedia article, his vinyl version of The Planets is
"rare".
I have both of those on original vinyl, now just need to get my
turntable working again. The man who first inspired me with synthesised
sound and music is no
more :(
R.I.P. Mr Tomita. You've more than earned it.
Isao Tomita is one of the musicians that I only discovered
all-too-recently. I eagerly caught up with his discography, and my
favourite work of his is the Planets suite. Will be listening to that
today.
