...

In the second last Super Disc List by HP (TAS No. 98, page 109ff.)
there was a unique first part called:

"The Best of the Classic Records RCAs"

I ordered all these records and the respective recommendations from the
subsequent parts of this list - except the piano concerti, I don't like.

OK, that explains why every record you have listed are versions of the very best of RCA recordings. I've been collecting the original pressings for many years, and have most of the ones you've listed, but some are either hard to find or $$$. I've only got a few of the Classic Recordings to compare to the original pressings. They each have their strong points. Which of the Classic Recordings pressings do you rank at the top?

Toni Rambold · « **Reply #7766 on:** 24 Apr 2017, 03:17 pm »

I like all the Classic Records 180g pressings, I own.
I don't have a ranking.

Big advantage - no ticks and pops !!!

I do not compare these reissues with the originals -
they are a different kettle of fish.

Originals were mastered from pre-equalized "Production Masters"
(2 track).
Afaik, Bernie Grundman mastered most of the Classic Records reissues
from the "Session Masters" (3 track) - thanks to the Bertelsmänner (BMG).
