Malcolm Arnold & The LPO -
ARNOLD OVERTURES -
Reference Record RR-48 -
2LP Gatefold Signed by HP - TAS



Of Reference recordings of note, there are certainly many.

But, truth be told, there are a few, a dastardly few, that are getting extremely hard to find.   And I mean wicked hard.  Among them are DAFOS, BOTEKAN, and this set.

Partially funded by The Absolute Sound, this 2LP package is a stunner, first note to last.  To boot, it has the composer at baton and premieres four works not recorded elsewhere, in THE SMOKE, A SUSSEX OVERTURE, THE FAIR FIELD, and COMMONWEALTH CHRISTMAS OVERTURE.

The whole she-bang was monitored utilizing Spectral electronics (designed by Keith Johnson, by the way) and listened to through Crosby modified Quads and Snell Type Bs (the big ones).

At home, when this arrives, open it up on your loudspeakers until you find the proper "size."  This is Watford Town Hall, remember, so adjust accordingly, adjusting volume up and down during dynamic parts, till the sense of space itself comes alive.  Then go back to the beginning, with that setting found, and strap-in.  This is going to move some air…and you.

A fine copy, like new, with two records inside all ashine.  Near mint in playback, perhaps better.  A copy that is a gift to NYC radio personality, Steve Sullivan, from Harry Pearson at TAS, signed on back from Sea Cliff, NY.

A truly rare, vinyl treasure.

For other fine records, TAS picks and hard-to-finds, please see my complete list of offerings here on eBay.

Shipping and handling is $5 for up to 5 LPs shipped within the States. Internationally, $14 via airmail for the first LP, $3 each thereafter. (Canada is half that.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $5, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
