Thank you for these absolutely wonderful transfers - glad these haven't been released on CD by anyone else ;)
ReplyDeleteDecca 'Eloquence' (Australia) put this on CD some time later: but this is one of my transfers using the Stanton CS100/D98Sstylus (now bloody ruined/ 'in pieces') and this quality is difficult to replicate (refuse to use my NOS Stanton 980LZS: the current NOS asking-price is €499).
DeleteHappened to be checking SB 2012 - Morel/ROHO Tchaikovsky Swan Lake - that has never been reissued on CD; have an original copy.
