Music Note :--------------------------

Let's Cut Right To The Audio Chase :

There Are But A Handful Of Records Of True Note . I Mean, Shockers . Records That You Feel On Your Skin, They Are That Good . The Reiner ZARATHUSTRA, Dorati's FIREBIRD, Any Of The Gales, The Early Sheffield Town Halls .  And, Of Course, This … The DECCA Head-6 Of Roberto Gerhard's THE PLAGUE .

Better Staging, I Promise You, Cannot Be Found On Vinyl . The Sonics, The Work Itself, The Hall, The Reading …. All Legendary .

Once, In A Large Room Of Chatty Audiophiles And Music Lovers Who Had Not Heard This Piece, I Eased Up The Volume Through A Set Of Very Large Electrostatics . The Opening Measures ---- Those Whispers Of "The Rats ...." --- Was All It Took, As, Quietly, Listeners Scrambled For Their Seats .

This Is Not Just A Very Good Record . It Is Among The Ten Best I Have Ever Heard, Produced By Anyone, Anywhere .  Better Yet, This Is The Original Decca Head Red FFSS Label, The Heavy Platter, And It Sings .

Word Of Warning, Though : This Is A Hi-Fi  Eater If You Play It Too Loud .  Just Find The Exact Volume That Places You As A Listener Within The Original Acoustic . From There, It Will Be Magic, Complete .

Note, Too, Please --- And I Mean This --- Do Not Play This Record In The Presence Of Small Children, At Least Until You Hear It First .  This Disc, I Warn You, Is Downright Scary .  (It Could Easily Haunt A Child .)

Definitely One Of The Choices I’d Make, If Only Allowed 10 Records On A Desert Island . An Audiophile, Music - Lover Gem, Not To Be Missed .
