RECORD DESCRIPTION

Faust-Carmen-Gibson 4 LP 200g 45rpm SV-PII Vinyl Classic Records Box Set New/ Never played !!

Legendary TAS RCA LSC-2449 Release
Featuring orchestral highlights from Faust and Carmen, the latter selections on side 2 are nothing short of spectacular! Widely regarded as one of the best of the Decca recorded RCA released Living Stereos. Original 33 rpm copies still bring up to $700 at auction.  According to Jonathan Valin who wrote "The RCA Bible" : " I own no other RCA that exceeds this disc in getting the full weight of a symphony orchestra in your living room."  This title was mastered directly from the two track analog master tapes that were on the machine at the recording session held at the popular Decca venue, Walthamstow Hall in London where many of the great Decca recordings were made.  Tony Hawkins, the legendary Decca "Transcription Engineer" flew over at Classic Records expense in the Fall of 1994 with the tapes for the mastering sessions at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood.  Hawkins would oversee many of the Decca/RCA mastering sessions over the early years of Classic Records.  A long standing item on many audiophile want lists this issue was issued in very limited quantity as a 4 disc single sided 45 rpm set Classic's 200 gram Clarity Super Vinyl Profile.
Clarity Vinyl represents the ultimate in vinyl formulations because it is comprised of over 90 percent of the highest
quality co-polymer available – a key component in vinyl pellets used for manufacturing vinyl records. Further,
Clarity Vinyl has no carbon black additive, common in vinyl formulas for LPs. Carbon black contains trace metals
that become magnetized and cause "electrical distortions" in cartridges during playback that smears the sound.
By taking out the Carbon Black, Classic Records is able to dramatically reduce the "electrical distortions" and
thus bring more "Clarity" to the playback process, providing a more realistic musical experience to the listener
and LP enthusiast. 45-RPM records have long been recognized as providing a higher fidelity musical experience resulting
purely from the cartridge being able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal groove
modulations in stereo LPs. Further, Classic Records 45-RPM single-sided pressings dramatically reduce the mechanical
resonances created by the cartridge during playback by allowing these resonances to be more fully transmitted to and
absorbed by the turntable platter. Classic Records Clarity Vinyl 45-RPM pressings are designed and manufactured to
provide the lowest distortion in every aspect of LP playback resulting in putting the listener as close to the music as possible.
