Fistoulari/LSO. [See TAS 34:180 re original issue on SR2-9011; this reissue scarce too - first copy I've had] A- to A ........................................ 30.00 RCA listings begin on following page �
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. 646.*ARP1-4440: SAINT-SAENS - Symphony #3. Zamkochian, organ; Munch/BSO.
