The history of the Mercury Living Presence label is full of innovations and remarkable events. One of these was a trip in June 1962 to the Soviet Union to record, on location, Russian and American artists and orchestras. What makes this so outstanding is the fact that Mercury shipped its own recording truck and staff from the U.S. to Moscow – right at the height of the Cold War. Nobody had achieved this before, and actually, nobody did after. The records made from those recordings are all well known and have become classics. This box set bundles all five of the resulting LPs.

The packaging for this set is the most sumptuous one Speakers Corner has ever published. It includes a wooden box with a transparent sliding top. The enclosed booklet features photographs never printed before and interviews with participants of the tour: Bob Eberenz (vice president of Fine Recordings), Harold Lawrence (musical director of Mercury Living Presence) and Brice Somers (international director of Mercury Living Presence). This set will, and we are very confident of this, become a collector's item.
