Throwback: Listener Magazine Into By Art Dudley

Recently I obtained some new CD re-issues from JVC who’ve begun making use of their very good XRCD course of to the RCA Victor catalog of classical recordings from the Fifties and Nineteen Sixties. Among this batch was a private favourite: Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony orchestra performing Beethoven’s Symphony No.7. I get pleasure from this one essentially the most of all of the Sevenths in my assortment, and the truth that my copy is a mono LP is not one thing I ever gave all that a lot thought to. In truth, till somebody corrected me on the purpose, I half assumed that LM-1991 is perhaps a type of recordings within the RCA catalog that by no means got here out in stereo within the first place. (I’m not the form of document collector who considerations himself with such particulars, though I’m typically grateful for the information of those that are.) I additionally keep in mind pondering {that a} stereo model of this LP, with that large, gaudy LIVING STEREO banner throughout the highest, should certainly undergo by comparability when it comes to its cowl artwork, which is Botticelli’s La Primavera, reproduced on a sturdy fold-over sleeve the likes of which I have never seen on some other document.
