Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony Orchestra
RCA ACS-63
2-Track Stereo for "In-Line" heads
7 1/2 ips; 7-inch reel; notes on the back of the box
Please note: for proper balances on playback, all 2-track tapes must be played on a 2-track machine. Playback on a 4-track machine will not give even weight to the channels and may not be satisfactory.
Recorded in Orchestra Hall, Chicago
April 15 & 16, 1957
Richard Mohr, producer
Lewis Layton, engineer
These recordings were originally issued on LP in mono only in 1957; the stereo LP and this tape both arrived in 1958. The first reference I have found to this 2-track tape comes in the RCA Tape Catalog from 1958 - its last appearance was in their 1961 catalog, after which all 2-tracks were discontinued.
For comments on the LP issue, see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #75/76, Pages 176-177
As you will see from the photo, this tape is entitled "Vienna," and has as its cover illustration a sepia version of the color photo used on the LP issue on LSC-2112. The LP, of course, included other waltzes as well. The other selections appeared on 2-track tape on ACS-87 and ACS-99.
This is a very scarce tape - only the third copy I've ever seen in some thirty years of selling tapes!
The tape and box are in excellent condition.
