Attention! You are looking at one of the rarest RCA Dogs in Existence. Rarely seen in this condition and playback quality, you should not pass up this highly desirable Lp!
Sound Playback from this baby is not to be believed. It is fabulous. A broad, clear soundstage, ear-popping dynamics. Great depth of field. The Carmen is on HP’s List!!!

J.A. Mitchell’s "The Golden Era of RCA Records" called this the "one record to demonstrate the quality of RCA records in the Golden Era….recorded in Covent (not Convent!!) Garden in London and the recording engineer is not identified, but I would guess Wilkinson. The Carmen music has a tremendous dynamic range and definition is excellent throughout the record. However, it is the quiet sections of the music which will delight you with its accurate tone color and stereo ambience."
