I also have much more music I can listen to the rest of my life. In earlier days scores often were on heavy rotation but nowadays hardly. I even have stuff laying around I bought but not have listened to…

Yes, there was a turning point at some time. When I first started listening to music, obviously I knew every LP and every CD inside out… nowadays, I always have a considerable portion in my collection that is still “undiscovered country”, so I have access to new music even if I could never go into a store or stream anything ever again. I often picked up several CDs and once, but only listened to one or two of them, because I sometimes bought CDs that were a good deal, but weren’t exactly in the mood for it at that time. And in recent years, there were quite a few classical music boxed set released, like the recent DG Shostakovich set (which I bought as a download) or the Boulez boxed set. I mean, I really like Boulez, but he’s all spice, so I don’t feel like listening to all 13 CDs in a row… will take me at least a year or two or three to have listened to all of that.

John Cacavas AIRPORT 1975

It’s also available as download gladly. I think I have an old LP rip of it, should listen to it again (see above ;-)).

Yes, I know it’s available as download. I have a Qobuz subscription, so I can listen to it any time: https://www.qobuz.com/nl-nl/album/airport-1975-john-cacavas/0060253775702

I would also consider buying a download, but it seems rather expensive at full price (for what it is; the 50 year old soundtrack in 16bit/44,1kHz without booklet); I was somewhat hoping LLL would release it after they released AIRPORT 1977 from the same composer.
