hello,
this forum looks fantastic, and I want to share with you an fabulous analog LP discovery.....a kind of "Rolls Royce" not only in the world of "analog publishing", but also in the world of legendary performers: the legendary french pianist Marcelle MEYER plays: DEBUSSY:piano preludes part I and II ; images series 1 + 2 pieces .
( catalogue ref. n° Les Discophiles Français DF 211 - 212 ; edited by a kind of small, artisanal French publisher: FRENCH RECORD COMPANY
- the first important thing here is that this limited edition ( 200 copys ) is NOT a re issue ( as for so many - or should I say most of the analog classical issues ) but a world premiere !.. a first ever issue of a 2-LP album that should have been published around 1958...but was finally deleted.
- the editor has created it exactly the same way it would have been published at the time !..
As an analog collector, I highly appreciate it is an handcraft extremely luxurious production including :
- of course full analog mastering - direct cutting from original mastertapes, with the use of vintage vacuum tubes equipments in the system = ultra rare and legendary Fairchild 670 and Pultec EMH 7 !!.
- the sleeve is an amazingly luxurious red canvas album, with gold embossed letterings, hand made, a craftman production .
They have even re created the same paper for the inner text, same label colors, even same letterings - font as the other old rare records from Discophiles Français edited in the 1950's which are very rare and sought after by collectors : I have compared with the ones I have: this Debussy is like a "brother record", being absolutely identical !
Many of us are lucky to have superb or top high end audio equipments...dreams ! But I have often been desapointed by : " what do we listen to on this expensive turnables, amps, etc.." ?!
Same statement when I visited audio show :...so many ultra expensive amps, preamp, turnables, speakers.. to play what ? mostly badly pressed records ( sorry to speak frankly ) !
So this magnificent album is for me exactly the kind of reocrd my equipment deserves !! ( and I don'yt have yet the amp. , preamp or speakers I dream of....)
I wish I could post more photos of the LP with others of the same kind from my collection, but it doesn't work because I'm a new member... too bad.
