Re: [ARSCLIST] Mercury co-founder Irving Green passes

The Speakers Corner records are very good. Note that they are mastered in Germany and made from the 
2-track tapes that were always made at the same time the original LP masters were cut. The 2-track 
was bridged off the end of the 3-2 mixer, before the RIAA EQ and record cutter.

Speakers Corner just put out a beautiful box set of the Moscow recordings, including the Borodin 
String Quartet, which was not issued on CD. I have had dealings with Kai at Speakers Corner and he 
is a very earnest, skilled and honorable man.
