• Featuring the original album artwork ..................
In the original 1979 review of the Mussorgsky Robert Layton in the GRAMOPHONE wrote:
“...what orchestral playing they offer us. The lower strings in ‘Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle’ have an extraordinary richness, body and presence, and “Baba Yaga”, which opens the second side, has an unsurpassed virtuosity and attack as well as being of demonstration standard as a recording. The glorious body of tone, the richly glowing colours, the sheer homogeneity of the strings and perfection of the ensemble is a constant source of pleasure.”
..................
Of the Stravinsky Layton wrote: ..................
“...Muti’s reading is second to none and the orchestral playing is altogether breathtaking. The recording is amazingly lifelike and truthful.” ..................

1) Test Press - These are the actual 1st press - These do exists from MFSL in plain white cover with Test Press Labels. These would be the absolute cleanest copy but are Very Rare and not many copies are even made
*************************************************************************************************
2) Demonstration Copy - These are the 2nd press - These are printed prior to the very first copy of the record is pressed for the consumer to purchase. These are inspected to make sure they are perfect so they can be used as a Demo Disc. Rare
**************************************************************************************************
3) Standard Numbered or Limited Press - These are the 3rd press - These are the copies you can or could purchase.
If you want an early press a press prior to the standard press for absolute best quality then a Test Press or Demonstration Copy is what you should seek. I was the former Mobile Fidelity Representative these have been in storage for 20 plus years.
