Joseph Haydn The Seasons Double LP Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Neville Marriner
I just cleaned this double album on my VPI 16.5 record cleaner and then played it on my He-Man Rig which consists of a Rega Planar Three with an Ortofon X5-MC cartridge on an RB-300 tone arm with a Valee PA-12B phono preamp / preamp feeding two ArtSound 805 monoblocks. This is a 1981 pressing. It appears brand-new with no scratches and very light surface noise only audible in quiet passages. There was some rumble on Side Four that I found annoying. You may have a higher tolerance for such things. The bulk of the album is an 8.5 out of 10. Side Four is more like a 6.5 IF YOU FEAR DAMAGE OR LOSS OF PARCEL IN TRANSIT, PLEASE INSURE THEM!
