Description

Gale Record Set - Bach: COMPLETE FLUTE SONATAS - Gale Box 2LPs GMFD 2-76-002-3 - VERY, VERY BEST!



There are great records, to be sure, and then there are the very special ones.

Trouble in describing them, especially for people like you and me, the audiophiles and serious music lovers, is that superlatives eventually run dry, lose their weight, meaning.

That's why I want to be sure to underline this record set in your mind.

It is the COMPLETE FLUTE SONATAS of JS Bach, pressed by Gale Maximum Fidelity Records, and it is, without a doubt, among the very finest records ever produced.

I am not quite sure how they do it or just what they do differently that puts the flute, cello and harpsichord right in your room, but that's what happens. Not just real sounding. "Alive" is more like it.

Fact is, if I had to describe in a few words that one major difference in this set versus any Mobile Fidelity or Classic re-issue or first stamper original, it would be this:

The removal of all veils.

So, that I do not have to use superlatives from here on out, let me tell you more succinctly that recently I sold a Gale Max Fidelity record to an eBayer here who is truly a formidable audiophile. Great system at home, great set of ears. (Trust me, I know the real ones when I "meet" them, having been one myself, professionally and otherwise, for over thirty years.)

Anyway, he shares with me that when he puts the Gale disc on, and the music begins, he notices his cat suddenly very attentive of the music. In fact, REALLY attentive.

So, curious, this audiophile changes the record and now throws everything he's got in his collection at the cat, to see if he can ellicit the same response.

$1000 collectible MoFi? Nope. 45 RPM Classic single disc re-issue? Nope.

Fact is, nothing but the Gale perked those feline ears. Much the same way I was reminded, years ago, with my little white haired "Peanut," who, upon hearing this disc, hopped down off the couch and crawled, low, defensive, toward the loudspeakers, wondering, I guess, how possibly what she heard, so vividly, couldn't actually be seen.

Deluxe box is without wear of any kind. Booklet is clean and intact. And the four record sides within are spotless. Pristine set, this one.

Last note:

Gale records are not among the very best I have ever heard, they ARE the very best I have ever heard.
