Description
This is a very nice copy of Classic Records reissue of Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s recording of Richard Strauss’s “Till Eulenspiegel” and “Death and Transfiguration” on four single-sided 180g 45 rpm records. The 45 RPM set is a complete recording LSC-2077. When I first bought this new, the records were cleaned with a VPI record cleaner and treated with LAST record preservative. More recently it was recleaned with Audio Intelligent Fluids on a VPI cleaner and on an Audio Desk ultra sonic record cleaner. It has also been demagnetized with a Furutech DeMag. There are no scuffs or scratches on the records. Side 1 plays very quietly with only a few occasional faint ticks. Side 2 has 1 light tick near the beginning but afterward is mostly very quiet. Side 3 has 4 faint ticks during the first 2 minutes and some occasional light ticks after that but is mostly very quiet. Side 4 has some occasional light ticks over the side but is otherwise quiet with only 6 light ticks noticed near the middle and 4 at the end of the side. I have only played the records a few times on various VPI tables I have owned (HW-19 MKIV, TNT 3.5, and Classic 4) using either Lyra or Benz Mico Ruby cartridges. The sound is naturally open and detailed. The covers for all records are the original glossy jackets that Classic used for their original 180g 33 RPM issue. There no seam splits or tears but there is some compression on one corner of each of the jackets. Only side A of each LP is pressed. Side B is blank. Multiple records can be combined in an order to save shipping costs.
