Another great RCA Living Stereo Shaded Dog recording, expertly transferred from an early stamper record. It embodies all the qualities that have established Living Stereo titles as the benchmark for excellence. The sound is impressively natural, featuring a mid-hall presence that strikes the perfect balance without excessive emphasis. Importantly, the louder passages deliver a powerful impact. This outstanding recording was produced by the renowned Crawford/Pfeiffer RCA team.
