Description
THE SONIC HOLY GRAIL: Hérold-Lanchbery - La Fille Mal Gardée Original Recordings Group (ORG 109) | Numbered Limited Edition #00082
Attention Audiophiles and Connoisseurs of the "Decca Sound": You are looking at a museum-grade copy of what is widely considered the finest sounding ballet recording ever committed to tape. Originally released as the legendary "London Blueback" CS 6252, this ORG reissue takes the performance to the absolute limit of the medium.
Why this pressing melts the butter:
-
45 RPM Speed: Mastered at 45 RPM for maximum transient response, wider dynamic range, and a lower noise floor.
-
Mastered by Bernie Grundman: Cut from the original analog master tapes by the legend himself. His signature is in the dead wax.
-
Pressed at RTI: 180 Gram of the finest audiophile-grade virgin vinyl, pressed at the world’s premier plant.
-
The "TAS" Factor: A perennial mainstay on Harry Pearson’s The Absolute Sound Super Disc list.
-
Strictly Limited: This is #00082 of only 2,500 copies worldwide. Rare "Low Number" for the serious collector.
Condition Note: This copy is Factory Sealed. As shown in the high-resolution photos, the original perforated shrink-wrap is starting to give way along the seam—a very common occurrence with these heavy-duty deluxe gatefolds. It has never been opened, handled, or played.
Shipping & Returns Policy
