This is the BEST RCA of the entire stereo era. Not just TAS, or Harry Pearson, or Sid Marks, of just about every other expert in the audiophile world has given this particular 1/S 1/S version as the Creme de la Creme. The story behind this record is the recording team of Richard Mohr and Lewis Layton pushed this recording to the limits on the master tapes. When the vinyl came out for review by the radio stations, their cartridges could not track the dynamics and they were jumping out of the grooves. So RCA pulled back this stamper and came out with a 5/S 5/S but this one, even though reduced, was too dynamic. So they re engineered again and came out with a 16/S that finally was lowered in dynamics enough to track the grooves. Today our turntables are much more sophisticated and they can allow for the beautiful grooves of the 1/S 1/S to blossom and fill your room with exquisite sound. "As if you Were There" The only 1/S's that seem to survive are the ones that were sent to RCA executives. This version is audibly more richer and robust than any other. The dynamics very transparent and ambient, Bass is extended to the limit. Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony, are so together on "The Pines of the Appian Way", that the brass , the organ and the gongs and the double basses are considerably fuller and more powerful and wonderfully defined. It beats hands down any other version of this you will ever hear. The strings are as good as it gets on any record I have ever heard. The imaging is wonderful. It is like a wall of sound around you. THIS RECORD IS THE RAREST OF ALL RCA'S.
