Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique- The Utah Symphony conduced by Varjan Kojian (Reference Recordings 2 disc 45rpm). Who knew? This one is nice, too. Engineered by the redoubtable Keith O. Johnson.

I bought about 100 RCA shaded dog, 60 Decca SXL, and 25 Deutsche Grammophon Tulip pressings at an estate sale a little over 2 years ago. It worked out very well for me since my per record cost was about $1.50. All the LPs were in near mint condition and quite a number of them had only a few plays. It was a very nice score.

Yes indeed. I have the complete 3 LP set. It was originally released on 78RPM shellac in the late 1940s on the HMV label, and then in the 1950s it was transcribed from the original metal parts to microgroove vinyl LPs on EMI and Angel. I love the performances here and the sound quality is really great. But I also like the Rostropovich and Starker readings of the Bach Cello Suites on EMI and Mercury Living Presence respectively.

Minty RCA Shaded Dog deep groove mono pressing. I never considered Charles Munch to be a great interpreter of Schubert. In my opinion that distinction belongs to Sir Thomas Beecham and the Royal Philharmonic, and I have the Beecham UK HMV mono Schubert Symphony releases on vinyl. But I only paid 50 cents for this Munch record at a local Salvation Army Thrift Store and it is easily worth that much to add to my already largish collection of RCA shaded dog mono pressings.

Classic Records 200g vinyl reissue. One thing I absolutely loved about Classic Records was the mastering. I also felt that they were rather selective about what RCA Victor recordings they would reissue. The master tapes had to be up to snuff. One thing I hated about Classic Records was their choice to have RTI press their records. I know a lot of vinylphiles like RTI, but I think they have serious quality control problems and that was partly responsible for what made them take over fodder for Analogue Productions. Having said that, I feel fortunate that I was able to procure a number of Classic Records titles that were defect free, and this is one of them. Absolutely mind-numbing sound.
