I would say that 66 is more essential than 62, which I find a
revisiting of EMI 55 (also with Moore) without, in this case, a lot
new; and perhaps a bit fussed-over to little result. I find the same
partners' further revisit in 71 much more absorbing. And the 66
partnership with Demus is different enough to be absorbing in its way.

But of course this is necessarily personal opinion and taste, and I
know many disagree with me. I would actually say that you have enough
FD WR's now to triangulate (quadrangulate?) his career in the work
from a variety of viewpoints, and need to get more of them only if
you really want to plunge into full-bore obsession (which some of us
do, of course!).

Viel Glück!
