Description

JOHANNES BRAHMS -


Symphony #2


Charles Munch/Boston Symphony Orchestra


RCA FCS-7


2-Track Stereo for "In-Line" heads

7 1/2 ips; 7-inch reel; includes notes insert


Please note: for proper balances on playback, all 2-track tapes must be played on a 2-track machine.   Playback on a 4-track machine will not give even weight to the channels and may not be satisfactory.


Recorded in Symphony Hall, Boston

December 5, 1955


Richard Mohr, producer


This recording was originally issued on LP in mono only (LM-1923 in 1956) and was never available in stereo on LP until very late release on the Gold Seal budget LP line in 1978!!   


The first reference I have found to this 2-track tape comes in the July 1957 RCA Tape Catalog, so it was the first issue of this recording in stereo, and the only one for two decades!  


The tape is in excellent condition; its box shows minor shelf wear and neat Scotch tape repair of seam splits (see photos).
