iIt is hard to believe that you found this hard to locate. Specially as there are Japanese transfers of ALL the Kubelik CSO recordings onto CD. They were rreleased in Japan about a decade ago in very limited quantities. The Japanese made their transfers from the master tapes.

At the time were were worried that these would find their way into the hands of 'copyists'. Apparently we need not have worried at all.

Tom Deacon

I'm confused. Wouldn't this fact make it easy to believe he found it hard to locate?

I'm confused again. Wouldn't worrying about them being copied imply that there was a larger market? Why then only release it in limited quantities in Japan?

I also never understood why so many things get released only in Japan.

Dave Cook

But evidently, the geniuses at Polygram were not worried enough to actually bother to issue these recordings in the USA.

Hey, Pierre, I'll bet those clean LPs were 'fixed' before 1972, right?

Tom: Maybe it would be a good idea if you went back to lurking for a while. You are getting mighty annoying.

Paul Goldstein

We heard the Japan. CDs to which you refer and they are rotten.... a few exceptions when they were having a 'bad day' masterering. Sorry to read that Mr. Deacon is not with us in our 'cannot wait anymore as death is too close' quest. It always worries us to say, with thin-lipped, pinched-nostriled, beebee-eyed and tight-assed determination to any potential customer: 'Sorry you can't have it!' C'est toute la jalousie.....la jalousie.....c'est tout.

I just had to write this. I just had to.

To the rest of you saints of music, thanks for your continued support in this labor of love. Ohterwise we would have decided to keep all these marvelous transfers to ourselves a long time ago. Surely my pal, David Gideon, would have done the same. Think of the both of us sitting down with our favorite wine in glass, in our respective production studios, listening with smirks on our faces that would certainly suggest that kind of very special uniqueness of circumstance.

These sorts of business practices at the so-called 'major' record labels have long puzzled me. There must be a reason why the people in charge would deliberately sabotage their own employers. I often laugh it off by calling it 'the will to fail,' but there must be a deeper reason. Well, psychiatrists and neurologists have been trying for years to understand why sociopaths do the things they do. It could be that we'll just never know.

Ya think?

Sorry, Paul. I didn't mean to disturb the 'kaffeeklatsch':!

Just pointing out something that surprised me, knowing what I know, that is!

I think you are right, of course. WCF would have done a bang-up job on these, if she had been allowed to, but wanted to work on the stereos first.

I am not 'with' anyone, I have to tell you.

Well, as they say, 'when you gotta go, then you had better go, othersie when you go to go, you may find you have already gone'

Sorry, I have missed the point here.
