Highly collectable title from from the legendary RCA Living Stereo "Shaded Dog" line. RCA revolutionized stereo with these groundbreaking recordings. On the TAS (The Absolute Sound) List of exceptional recordings.
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.
Condition: Album cover has light ring wear. Corners are dull. Spine, top and bottom all have chipping but there are no splits. Record opening (opposite the spine) is a bit rough, specially near the corners. There are no spindle marks on the label. Vinyl has a few visual scuffs and hairlines... plays fine save for an occasional surface noise/crackle.
Review: 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.
Living Stereo: In the decade following 1953, RCA Victor made a substantial body of recordings which have come to be identified with their early stereo release label, Living Stereo. As the adoption of Stereo audio became more widespread, Living Stereo offered a wide range of music and performances in high quality sound. A majority of these records, particularly classical music, offer music, performances and audio quality which are considered definitive. Living Stereo influenced many of the recordings that followed with their recording and marketing philosophies.
