"This is the legendary 1954 performance of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique that was never issued as a Living Stereo. By the time that RCA started issuing stereo LPs in 1960, Munch re-recorded the piece, though many argue that the 1954 performance is favored. This is one of the early Jack Pfeiffer two-track recordings which capture that sense of “being there” that is often elusive. When Classic first issued this title in 1994, they decided to use the second or “RE” mono cover art because they reasoned that it was that cover that RCA would have used if they’d released the 1954 performance as LSC 1900. But after Classic’s first issue of LSC 1900, Jack Pfeiffer said that he was never happy with the “RE” cover and would have preferred the original mono cover converted to Living Stereo with the addition of the banner across the top of the jacket. So, here it is. The sound and the performance are intoxicating!"

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
