RCA 2-TRACK REEL-TO-REEL TAPE GCS-42: BRAHMS - SYMPHONY #1 / MUNCH / BOSTON SYM

$

Description

JOHANNES BRAHMS -

Symphony #1

Charles Munch/Boston Symphony Orchestra

RCA GCS-42

2-Track Stereo for "In-Line" heads

7 1/2 ips; 7-inch reel; notes on back cover

Please note: for proper balances on playback, all 2-track tapes must be played on a 2-track machine.   Playback on a 4-track machine will not give even weight to the channels and may not be satisfactory.

Recorded in Symphony Hall, Boston

November 19, 1956

Richard Mohr, producer

Lewis Layton, engineer

The first reference I have found to this 2-track tape comes in the July 1957 RCA Tape Catalog.  On RCA's Red Seal LP line, this recording was available in stereo on LSC-2097 - but only from  October 1959 until April 1961, so it is among the scarcest of the stereo Red Seals (it came back on budget-label Victrola around 1964). 

The tape is in excellent condition; the box shows only the slightest shelf wear.
