Description



This is a very nice copy of Classic Records 180g pressing of Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s recording of Prokofieff’s “Lt. Kije” and Stravinsky’s “Song of the Nightingale” on 4 180g 45 RPM records.  The 45 RPM set is a complete recording LSC-2150.  When I first bought this set new, the records were cleaned with a VPI record cleaner and treated with LAST record preservative.  More recently it was recleaned with Audio Intelligent Fluids on a VPI cleaner and on an Audio Desk ultra sonic record cleaner.  It has also been demagnetized with a Furutech DeMag. The recording is very spacious and dynamic. There are no scuffs or scratches but there are some streaks in the vinyl on Side 2. Side 1 plays very quietly with 5 light ticks noted over the side.  Side 2 plays mostly quietly but I noted 11 light ticks.  Side 3 plays very quietly throughout with 12 light ticks noted over the side. Side 4 plays mostly quietly with 13 light ticks noted over the side.

I have only played the records a few times on various VPI tables I have owned (HW-19 MKIV, TNT 3.5, and Classic 4) using either Lyra or Benz Mico Ruby cartridges. The sound is naturally open and detailed. The covers are 4 glossy 180g jackets.  There are no seam splits but there is some slight compression on the corners of each jacket.  Only side A of each LP is pressed.  Side B is blank. Multiple records can be combined in an order to save shipping costs.
