Marcellus on Vinyl

Author: Phat Cat

I am thinking of picking up a record (remember those?) of Marcellus/K622 that has appeared on a certain on-line auction. The listing says that it is paired with the Divertimento No 2 In D, K 131, as opposed to the flute concerto that is on my CD version. To those of you born before the digital era, is this the original LP release?

Just the thought of setting up my Denon turntable (boxed three moves ago and never unpacked) brings back such memories. What passionate debates: moving magnet vs. moving coil; direct drive vs. belt drive; tip geometry. Ah, to hear wow and flutter and the clicks and pops once more!

I figure an original release of Marcellus/K622 should rank right up there as a collector’s item with my original of the Mothers of Invention Freak Out.

PC,

Several of us have been talking about transferring vinyl recording to CD. Things like the Marcellus record that has probably not been re-issued in CD is a perfect example.

Check out this thread.

Hank:

I have Marcellus/K622 on CD but the pairing seems to be different than the LP.

No, it's the same original recording - re-issues are often paired with different works.

And heavily discounted too!

I bought the Marcellus Mozart Concerto as soon as it came out, on an Epic LP. It was paired with the Mozart Divertimento, so what you've found is probably the original issue. Unless you collect original issues, you'd be better off getting the performance on the current CD. All reissues are of the identical recording.

Epic LPs were cut "hot," with exaggerated treble, bass and stereo spread, to sound best on the then-current record players. The CD will probably sound better on current equipment.

Best regards.

Thanks, Ken, I figured you'd have it. This LP jacket is Columbia and the LP label is that funky brown and orange that my memory says was from the earth-tone-saturated 70's . So this is a re-issue.
