Not to rub it in but the 5 cassette version of the Readers Digest Light Classical Music is like new and "made exclusively for Readers Digest by RCA." Yippee! Tape is a natural medium. It breathes.
Readers Digest Classical Collections should be reissued
Someone should talk to Analogue Productions to make a limited run of the Beethoven Cycle and A Festival in Light Classical Music by Readers Digest. Every time I listen to them I cannot believe these have been overlooked as they are some of the best classical recordings and performances available. Chesky did reissue a few on vinyl but most were just on CD and they could have been better. I cannot believe with all the Living stereo reissues that these have been overlooked. They are just as good as any Living Stereo if not better. They are some of Deccas finest. Does anyone know why these have been avoided? Seems strange as I would think most audiophiles would be all over these.
