RIMSKY-KORSAKOFF Scheherazade Fritz Reiner Conducts The Chicago Symphony Orchestra New & Sealed One Sided, 4 Disc Pressing - 45 RPM Series
Lable: Classic Records/RCA LSC 2446 (Living Stereo)
Individually sealed records are new and still sealed in their original plastic sleeves. Perforations are completely intact. Corners are sharp, spines are straight and colors are vibrant. There are no flaws or blemishes... 100% MINT!
An extremely hard to find SEALED audiophile reissue by Classic Records. Mastered at half speed from the original source master tapes, this 45 RPM, one-sided pressing was Classic Records' attempt to achieve the ultimate in vinyl sound quality. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step and then pressed on Classic's proprietary 180 gram Vinyl. The packaging is beautiful as Classic pride themselves for releasing each album with the original artwork, LP labels and any other materials which were included with original pressings. 
This title is LONG out of print and growing to be quite a rare collectible.
Review: Here it is: The most famous audiophile "classical" recording of all time, mainly thanks to The Absolute Sound, which has been hyping the original "Shaded (and/or "White") Dog" for around 25 years. It even received the "cover treatment" and a big article in issue 108. Scheherazade was one of the finest RCA "original recordings" made in the U.S. It has all their unique strengths, but with fewer, and less audible, weaknesses. It isn't RCA's "best classical recording," let alone "the best classical recording of all time," but the paralyzing sonics in the 4th movement might still make this a "must have" LP for many listeners.
