1st STAMPER:
Mark Levinson Pure Acoustic Master Tape Recording Series, Volume 1 -
Bach SIX SCHUBLER CHORALES (organ)
-&-
Battle Chapel Choir (Yale) -
Blue-Label Original MAL1
This is one of a handful of very well-respected records that came out of the high-end audiophile launch in the U.S. during the early to late '70s.
Fact is, Mark Levinson is among an elite corps that understands setting up mics, capturing acoustic reality, right on through pressing a record with every level of care taken. The result of such work in your listening room will quite astound you.
Side one here is of the SIX SCHUBLER CHORALES as played on the organ at Yale, and side 2 offers up a very spacious sound capture of the Battle Chapel Choir singing Bach's PRELUDE IN E MAJOR, REJOICE IN THE LORD, MAGNIFICA by Tallis, LORD LET ME KNOW MINE END by Greene, and O SANCTUM CONVIVIUM by Morales.
And, yes, this stellar copy is the very first Levinson issue on LP, back when Mark was trying to decide if he would press records at all. The Blue Labels only showed up at Levinson dealers, of which I was one.
This is the rare, original blue-label volume 1, the very first pressing: In its plain white cover (has a note and some sticker residue); platter within is near mint.
Not to be missed. A hi-fi treasure.
