OFFENBACH Gaite Parisienne
Arthur Fiedler Conducting The Boston Pops Orchestra
EX/EX Used Vinyl Record

Record Label: RCA LSC-1817 (Living Stereo / Shaded Dog Label)
Matrix (Stampers): J2 RY 1454 5S / J2 RY 1455 5S

One of the most collectable titles from from the legendary RCA Living Stereo, "Shaded Dog" line. RCA revolutionized stereo with these groundbreaking recordings and this is one of the best of the lot.

Record cover has very slight wear on the front... a bit more pronounced ring wear on the back. Small amount of chipping on the bottom. Cormers are sharp and spine is straight. Original 1959 RCA inner bag is in great shape. Vinyl looks fantastic... expect minor intermittent surface noise and an occasional crackle or light pop. Nothing major.

Review: In 1947, Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra recorded the ballet for RCA Victor; this high fidelity recording was later issued by RCA as its first 33-1/3 rpm LP in 1950. In 1954, Fiedler recorded the concert suite in stereo, his first stereophonic session for RCA. This is the 1954 stereo version  recorded in Symphony Hall in Boston, 1954.

Living Stereo: In the decade following 1953, RCA Victor made a substantial body of recordings which have come to be identified with their early stereo release label, Living Stereo. As the adoption of Stereo audio became more widespread, Living Stereo offered a wide range of music and performances in high quality sound. A majority of these records, particularly classical music, offer music, performances and audio quality which are considered definitive. Living Stereo influenced many of the recordings that followed with their recording and marketing philosophies.
