Two Viennese medical professors made the diag- nosis after finding the orig- inal report on the composer's autopsy and what they say are long-lost fragments of his skull. The original autopsy report was written in Latin. Hans Bankl, a pathologist, and Hans Jesserer, whose specialty is internal medi- cine, outlined their conclu- sion in a book called The Ail- ments of Ludwig van Beetho- ven. It was published last to bone month. Betthoven died in Vienna on March 26, 1827, of cirr- hosis of the liver. The German-born musician was 57. The first symptoms of deafness appeared when he was 27. By.1818, the 48-year- old Beethoven was totally deaf in his right ear and had only marginal hearing in his left. “Oh how bap wou be, perhaps one of t& happiest people, had not the demon sought residence in my ears,” he wrote his” friend Franz Wegeler on May 2, 1810. “Had I not read somewhere that man is not permitted tovoluntarily put an end to his life . . . I would be no more.” Royal Canadian Legion | Branch No. 170 Guests Must Be SIGNED In CABARET Saturday Dancing 9:30 p.m.-1:30 a.m. OPEN MON. - THUR. 11 A.M. - 1 A.M, FRIDAY & SATURDAY 12 NOON-2 A.M.

Pepper's album if it’s got so much snap, crackle and pop you can't listen to it? Like most records issued 20 years ago, there's a good possibility your copy was played. on a turntable that stacked records like pancakes. Or it was used on the family room hi-fi where the tone arm would be weighted with a quarter to ram the needle through any skips. Not even a record collector would want it now. Until recently, it was difficult to replace battered albums or fill the gaps in your record collection satisfactorily: most reissued rock albums were pressed on poor quality vinyl, and many old jazz and blues albums have long been out of print. Reissues and anthologies have usually been thrown together uncaringly, with posthumous Elvis Presley records being the worst example. . NEW ONES GOOD But all this is changing. Ina flurry, record companies are churning out reissues and greatest hits packages on compact disc, trying to satisfy a public hunger for nostalgia a) ‘© @eliver old favorites with a clean, clear sound offered by CDs. High quality reissues and anthologies are also being made on vinyl LPs and on cassettes, the largest selling format. “It’s almost like somewbody threw a switch,” said Kim Cook, label manager for Elektra, Asylum and Atlantic Records in Canada. “All record companies have a treasure trove of recordings developed over 30 and 40 years. But there some record companies like Capitol are creating greatest hits packages of big-name artists. The trend is not restricted to hits, though, Frank Zappa's. late 1960s masterpieces — long out of print on vinyl — are now available on CD. JAZZLON CD Jazz fans, tormented by the surface noise on their quieter jazz albums, are big CD buyers. CBS Records plans to release its Columbia Jazz Masterpieces series on CD, including Dave Brubeck's 1960 hit Time Out. But lesser-known classics such as Charles Mingus's The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady are also available. Many reissues are still being done on vinyl, although its days are limited. Later this spring MCA Records will reissue in Canada 12 original records from the seminal blues label Chess. Last year, Atlantic reissued a series of original albums by various soul stars including Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. The records sold for as low as $4.49 and enjoyed above average sales for reissues. But the most acclaimed reissue package on vinyl is the 14-record set Atlantic Rhythm and Blues 1974-1974. Rolling Stone magazine described the anthology as “no less than a history of maderan American black popular music.” It won a Grammy as best historical album in February. SETS NOT CHEAP Atlantic followed it with Atlantic Blues, a box of four double albums, and Atlantic Jazz, a box of single and double albums totalling 15 songs. The blues set sells for around $63 and the jazz set for about $130. The compilers divided the music into genres, such as New Orleans, piano, bebop and Kansas City. The music has been put into perspective and the, listener, cap, note isn'ta major label that has paid tribute to its catalogue. And it *seéms there was a collective it of consciousness that these things had been improperly treated in the past.” BEATLES HOT The most celebrated reissues — and the hottest sellers — have been the Beatles albums recently released on ODs. And the rest of the Fab Four's catalogue is to be reissued on CD. Because CDs often reveal previously unheard nuances, many fans are excited about what may be unearthed on the CD version of the multi-layered Sgt. Pepper's LP, to take just one example. Old albums that enjoyed big sales when they were initially released are enjoying a second life on CD, notably Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Meanwhile, the s in each genre. The new eover art is classy and the detailed liner notes provide fascinating information. While each Atlantic set features original recordings, they have been digitally remastered for a bright, clear sound. “The success of the Atlantic R and B set woke people over here that ther is enough of a market to make it profitable,” said David Farrell, editor of The Record, Canada’s music industry trade magazine. He said record companies wrongly believed only a small percentage of adults, like collectors, were interested in high-priced boxed sets in original mono. Although the Atlantic R and B set sells for about $95, more than 3,000 sets have been sold in Canada. evan Anne of Green Gables is on the way back Love, Grandpa, children and grandchildren.
