Inspired by the success of the Deutsche Grammophon Original Source Series of superb vinyl reissues mastered and cut directly from the 4 and 8-track analogue master tapes, I ask the question:
"What if the other great classical labels - EMI, Decca, Columbia/CBS, RCA, Mercury - could do the same? Would they?"
Join me on a deep-dive into my collection as I select a treasure-trove of outstanding classical records from the 1950s to the 1970s that would all benefit from new AAA, audiophile vinyl reissues.

My system, which has evolved over 20-plus years, is tube based and many pieces were acquired used. It was mostly put together with the invaluable help and ears of Eliot Midwood at Acoustic Image (
