Thanks very much! Great scans too.
ReplyDeleteSupraphon's, like this one, got re-introduced around early 1964 @ 17/6d (previously full-price).
DeleteRobert ('the bouncing Czech') Maxwell's Pergamon seemingly distributed them.
A few years later Paul Hamlyn's "Records for Pleasure" - and were mastered/pressed by EMI - rarely seen.. A few of those matrices got onto 'Music for Pleasure':- I've only Ancerl's Prokofiev R&J...Dvorak VC (Suk) Shostakovich Sym.5. The EMI transfers are beefier - but the Czech Shostakovich 5 (1972 copy) sounds good (had intended uploading that): unfortunately Supraphon transfers latter '70's typically sound less good: and 1980's vinyl looks grey and undynamic - andsounds it!
Will try a few new transfers when it's a bit warmer.
Muchas gracias por esta magnífica obra, saludos.
