The cannon shots captured on this LP are extremely difficult for most phono cartridges to track. The inability of your phono playback system to play these cannon shots is very typical and not an indication of either your cartridge or record being defective. Acoustic Sounds will not accept returns of this product for reasons of mistracking due to the cannon shots on this record.
200-gram super silent pressing from Quality Record Pressings; phenomenal quality!
The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, lead by Erich Kunzel, perform Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. First Impression Music's reissue of Telarc's legendary recording. In 1978, Bob Woods and Jack Renner took the first of many risks that are characteristic of Telarc's history. On the cutting edge of recorded sound technology, they made the first commercial classical recordings in the U.S. in the digital format. One of those recordings was the now legendary Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture, performed by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. The recording featured the first-ever digitally recorded live sound effects — digital cannons.
When the 1812 was released, the cover read "Caution! Digital Cannons," and the interior of the booklet warned the listener that "the cannons of the Telarc 1812 Overture are recorded at a very high level. Lower levels are recommended for initial playback until a safe level can be determined for your equipment." Reviewers also issued cautions: "Just be sure the volume isn't so loud that one of the shots spreads pieces of speaker cone all over your floor," (Digital Audio); and "Its peaks would crack your window panes and maybe your speaker cones, too." (Knight-Ridder Newspapers). The disc became Telarc's best-selling recording of all time, with over 800,000 copies sold, and for well over a decade has been the audio demo disc of choice.
Side A 1812 Overtune, Op.49

Reviewer: Fred Excellent recording, cannons cause two major skipping issues, right when you would expect great cannons shots!
What's the point?

Reviewer: Nate Quality is first rate on the vinyl and packaging and the music is good. My Rega P3-24 and $595 Exact cartridge can't track the cannon shots. I'd like to know if a high end MC can or is this record not trackable?

Reviewer: Ant Simon Amazing sound, as you'd expect, but I can't help but think this record is more of a "who has the turntable that can handle the canons" competition. An alternative real-world pressing would be welcomed.
