Description
One of a handful of Classical rarities we have just had in, see our ebay store for more.
1965 1st Plum deep Grooved labels Decca pressed Stereo VICS 1042. Reiner & the CSO in Richard Strauss Ein Heldenleben. Nice low 1K2K stampers, telling us this is mastered by Tony Hawkins from the raw 1st generation US RCA reels. This really ought to get my fellow audiophiles excited, as it is two valve neumann mikes recording, cut on the latest mid sixties valve Neumann lathe by an engineer who knew his stuff. That means that there is more of the music on this lp than on the living stereo 1st press, because the difference in technology allowed for a greater sonic bandwidth. The decca vinyl is a lovely black background to the music, less noisy than the US RCA's, and this is a transfer from when the tapes are 11 years old, unlike the various recent audiophile reissues which are 50+ years old when the tapes are hammered. Possibly the best issue of this Reiner gem?
A nice low plays pressing in fabulous playback sound, grading near mint.
A near mint record in a near mint sleeve.
we send packed in hard card custom made new boxes.
