A- 10.00 AUDIOPHILE AND SPECIAL LABEL RECORDS The following several sections are devoted to listings of records by manufacturer in order of prefix and issue number. In most of these cases, either an individual item or a whole series has a following among groups of collectors on the basis of either quality of recorded sound to begin with or of pressing vintage (or both); in some cases (audiophile or not) the label per se has so devoted a following that it makes sense to list discs here rather than in an artist or repertoire category. Since many of these audiophiles are also followers of The Abso!ute Sound magazine, I have also included notations when I have found reviews or comments regarding specific discs in this publication. These take the form of the issue number followed by a colon, then the page number, i.e. [38:155]. Please consult these references directly if you are interested in what TAS has said. Their content in generally favorable, but they are not always so. Also, I have included these references even in cases where TAS has discussed or listed a different issue of the same recording I have listed (for example, a domestic vs. an imported pressing, or a reissue vs. original issue). So do not automatically assume that a TAS reference means a rave review of the specific item listed. When the letter "L" follows one of these notes, it means that the item was included on Harry Pearson's list on that page in that issue (rather than meaning that the item received an actual review or comment). [If you have a specific interest in the early Columbia stereo pressings with "2-eyes" labels, or the even earlier "6-eyes" pressings, here is where they are in this catalog: #319-21, 372, 374, 428, 442, 486, 908, 1068, 1098, 1110, 1135, 1147, 1156, 1197, 1200, 1239, 1257, 1265, 1282, 1302, 1336-7, 1367-8, 1386, 1428, 1437, 1503, 1519, 1525-8, 1548, 1558, 1568, 1590, 1592-6, 1611-3, 1618, 1620-1, 1623-5, 1627, 1649, 1683, 1688, 1698, 1760-1, 1763, 1768-9, 1771-2, 1774, 1778-9, 1783, 1842, 1845 & 1847.

[TAS re original issue (SR-90245): 31:97] A- to A(c/c) 11.00 LP's: RCA's I am now listing RCA's all together in one group when they are either early pressings in which customers have indicated an interest, or when they are later pressings of issues which have had a particular following. Records are listed alphanumerically by prefix and number. Codes for pressings refer to label types, and are given in brackets just before the grade at the end of the listing (e.g. [SD]). RCA pressing codes are as follows: PD = Plum Dog (Nipper, the RCA/HMV dog, shown against a shaded plum background; used for the last RCA classical mono issues, c.1954-1958). SD = Shaded Dog (as above, but with fire-engine red background; used during the early stereo era, c.1958-1963, for both mono and stereo classical issues except some Sorias). WD = White Dog (also called "Plain Dog"; Nipper here is against an unshaded background of Christmas red; used for all classical issues except Sorias c.1964-1969). ND = No Dog (large "RCA" in open white letters on left of label; c.1969-1977). LD = Late Dog (small dog on upper right of label against dark red; c.1977 forward). BL = Black label (for popular records almost exclusively) CP = Canadian Pressing. PL = Plum Label (for Victrola [VIC or VICS] issues, the earliest pressings, c. 1964-1968). SS = Soria Series (special label of Christmas red with no dog used only for the Sorias; the first Sorias had SD labels, but switched to SS about 1961 - before WD era). I am now also including the stamper numbers of each stereo disc (and some monos too) next to the pressing code. If the information is available I also show the names of the producer and engineer in another pair of brackets. Please note that for these issues - as for most records from the early stereo era - copies in apparently mint condition frequently grade "A- to B+" in my audition. Copies graded A- are very fine, and higher grades are quite extraordinary from this period. 838.*AGL1-3794: PISTON - Symphony #6. MARTINU - Symphony #6 ("Fantaisies Symphoniques"). Munch/BSO.
