STUNNING!
This Swedish Hi-Fi Record Company produced some of the best test records I know of, primarily because everything they try to demonstrate uses music to prove its point.
This, their famous test record regarding "depth of image," concerns itself with both lateral dimension of stereo presentations captured correctly and the resultant depth. The fine selections they use, in fact, demonstrate heartily that a recording done on the basis of capturing an acoustic, rather than the individual instruments within it, will always sound more natural and spacious.
An absolute "must have" for any audiophile, the selections are quite stunning, running the gamut from single voice in a hall, to guitar, jazz of the twenties, to organ music and polyphony. The harpsichord section is a favorite, as is the solo cello, which is quite natural and hair-raising.
A rare audiophile/music lover prize: Cover without major fault, with a sticker on front and small ink notes on back. Within, is the original Swedish platter, which should play near mint.
An extraordinary record, that is actually capable of replacing your listening room with each and every acoustic recorded. Not to be missed. The original gate edition.

Shipping and handling is $5 for up to 5 LPs shipped within the States. Internationally, $15 via airmail for the first LP, $3 each thereafter. (Canada is half that.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $6, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
