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.

Agree, they really are plentiful.  So are the "Philharmonic family of great music" and the "Basic library of the worlds greatest music" LP collections.  I think I bought both complete set in unplayed condition at garage sales for just a few dollars.  Same with thr Readers Digest collections.

My Son who has thousands of classicsl CD's is alwasy amazed at how good some of these older recordings are.  Not to mention the musicianship.  These record mostlt comprise my modest classical collection.  (I know, but I am a Jazz nut)
