Description
This is a very nice copy of Classic Records 200g pressing of Moussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Fritz Reiner on 4 single-sided 200 g. 45 RPM records. The 45 RPM set is a complete recording LSC-2201-45. When I first bought this new, the records were cleaned with a VPI record cleaner and treated with LAST record preservative. More recently it was recleaned with Audio Intelligent Fluids on a VPI cleaner and on an Audio Desk ultra sonic record cleaner. It has also been demagnetized with a Furutech DeMag. There are no scratches or scuffs on disks 1,3, and 4, but disk 2 has a ¼” light scratch near the beginning of the side which only seems to produce some low-level surface noise. Side 1 plays mostly very quietly with approximately intermittent 25 light ticks noted over the side with 5 ticks in sequence near the end of the side. Side 2 plays mostly quietly with only 28 light ticks noted over the entire side. Side 3 plays very quietly with only 3-4 light ticks noticed over the side. Side 4 plays mostly very quietly with 3 light ticks at the beginning of the side with an additional 6 light ticks noticed over the remainder of the side. I have only played the records a few times on various VPI tables I have owned (HW-19 MKIV, TNT 3.5, and Classic 4) using either Lyra or Benz Mico Ruby cartridges. The sound is naturally open and detailed. The covers are the original heavy jackets that Classic used for their 200g issues. There are no seam splits or bends. Only side A of each LP is pressed. Side B is blank. For this set, only record 1 has the regular 200g jacket with a sticker, while records 2-4 have a plain white jacket with a sticker as was originally issued by Classic Records. Multiple records can be combined in an order to save shipping costs.
