A document I downloaded from Esoteric Sound in early 2007 says 400-Hz 
turnover and -12 dB at 10 kHz through 10/54 (MG50026).  This is the old AES 
characteristic.  I recall that the fairly short-lived 40000 series was contemporaneous 
with the early issues in the 50000 series, and reserved for American music 
such as that on MG40007.  I have no 40000's but I do have at hand MG50004 
(Borodin/Stravinsky) and the jacket notes say, "Owners of wide-range equipment are 
advised to set their bass and treble controls so that playback characteristic 
will be in accordance with the response curve published by the Audio Engineering 
Society."

Sounds like fun!
