In 1952 Jascha Heifetz, with Malcolm Sargent and the London Sym.O, recorded the Bruch violin Concerto #1 on RCA LM9007 plum dog lp. I just compared it to the version in the new RCA 60 cd collection (recording from 1961-same Heifetz, same Sargent, same orchestra, but different performance).
Get the mono lp. How did they make such superior recordings 63 years ago?? Better detail, more musical, better definition, overtones captured better,... everything about the mono lp is superior to the remastered cd.

Deutsche Grammophon stereo LP that I paid 50 cents for at a Salvation Army Thrift store several years ago. Vinyl is in minty condition.

RCA Shaded Dog mono LP. I had the good fortune several years ago of buying about 100 RCA 1950s mono LPs at an estate sale for an extraordinarily low price. Every single album was in just about perfect condition. Not a single scratch or scuff, and no spindle marks whatsoever. Every album had a wonderful gloss to it and if these LPs were played more than a few times I would be surprised.
