Thanks again 1111art
Was not cognizant of this process. Many are still available very reasonably. They DO sound wonderful. No need to pay up for curated copies.
Appreciate the heads up.
Crazy Good Vinyl recording fidelity on COMMAND label
Everest was well known for their 35mm recordings issued on LP, many engineered by Audio Magazine writer/reviewer Bert Whyte. I started buying every copy I found in my crate-digging days (1970's-90's), available for peanuts unlike the more-famous RCA Living Stereo (particularly the "shaded dog" pressings) and Mercury Living Presence LP's (which became rather expensive after Harry Pearson started mentioning them in his TAS reviews). |
The Command label is good sounding stuff if you like the genres. Most of the offerings are background music for a period movie. I have several LP’s. For me, they are more kitsch or to play for another audiophool to appreciate. I have some of the Classical pieces, and a few other things. I don’t think there are many fans left to appreciate " The Doc Severinsen Sextet(Johnny Carson) or pre wrecking crew guitarist Tony Mottola. Now, if some of my Zeppelin,Stones and Who were done this way, that’s another thread. Edit Since you're a drummer, you might want to be on the lookout for Audio Fidelity label LP's. Another early audiophile press company. I buy obscure stuff and a recent find is this https://www.discogs.com/master/447295-Choco-His-Mafimba-Drum-Rhythms-African-Latino-Voodoo-Drums |
A great example of how many different things are going on and always changing over time. Equipment, materials, technique and a whole lotta skill goes into a record. Would love to know a backstory like this for one of my favorites, Sinatra-Basie. But I am not up to your historical-archeological skill level! Well done. Thanks! |
