Lol! Your last three 'rummage' discoveries have turned up recordings that resonate with my early days purchases! Penguin Guide influenced? 😉One of the great things about rummaging about in the earliest discs I bought when starting my collection is choosing to play works that, if truth is told, I've either left behind / overplayed / forgotten about.
This is certainly true of this disc - I'll let others decide which of the above is applicable in this case, maybe all!
Tchaikovsky, 1812 Overture / Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture / Marche Slave / Francesca da Rimini - Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Sian Edwards.

more suitable for a Pirelli calendarWhat do you guys think of this cover? I think it's up there as one of the most awful I have seen... Anyways, I'm just starting this, and Scriabin's Preludes sound really pretty (though it is extra Chopinesque, without the incomparable genius of the Polish).
Then come the Three Pieces, op. 2, with Klavierstück XII by Stockhausen (from the TREMENDOUS Donnerstag aus Licht) closing.

I started the day with PMD's Resurrection which is a fairly brief opera (around 100 minutes) so I thought I'd end it with another PMD opera, The Lighthouse, which is even shorter. This is fairly light hearted and entertaining with none of the craziness of Resurrection. If you like Britten you might find this easy to digest as well. Presto's brief description of it makes it sound a little more serious than it is:

Most definitely not, the discs were chosen after extensive appraisal of the alternatives irrespective of cost or availability...... gawd, I'm a lousy liar.
Before streaming and forums like TC the PG was an invaluable resource for someone like me needing shoving in the right direction.

Yes, those of us of a certain generation who were building our classical collections were doing the same thing pretty much for the reasons you give. And it did us no harm. 👍

Streamed via Qobuz:
Mendelssohn, String Quartet No 3 Op44/1 - Tinalley Quartet.
Birthday boys excellent quartet that is also the string quartet of the week in a joyous performance. It's been said before on TC in various threads but its certainly worth repeating - the standard of a lot of the younger quartets coming through is exceptional.
