Re: [ARSCLIST] Record tracking,and ageing, was De-static question
Don't forget the RCA soundtrack series with Charles Gerhardt and the
National Phil Orchestra. They're great. They could do great stuff when
they tried. There were some Vics on thin vinyl that were mastered well.
And plenty of pop recordings in the '70s have great pressings, but mostly
the first set of laquers.

Didn't RCA go to hell when they adopted that "dynagroove" system? It's
not just them with 70's

records. They're horrible.
Capitol umpteenth pressing of Beatles records, which is what I grew up
with in the 70's and 80's,
weren't so hot either.
On the other hand, there were RCA masterings and pressings of some Vox and
Murray Hill sets, and they're
wonderful. MCA...feh.
