Classic Music Vinyl Records The 100 Greatest recordings Of All Time

This series issued as 50 individual two-record sets.The entire library was first announced on the 100th anniversary (1977) of Thomas Edison’s invention of the phonograph. Each LP was pressed with a special vinyl formulation that enabled a clear (IE: virgin vinyl) quiet playing surface on a more rigid (heavy weighted) LP disc. Every record was pressed and processed in an atmosphere controlled “clean room” and using "ruby red colored" vinyl. Recordings are archival in nature and some are varied from mono vs stereo, though not specified on the disc or labels. Each library case houses two proof-quality long playing records, with each record fully protected within its own dust free (plastic tray & lid) compartment. The records are firmly supported within the closed compartment in such a way that the playing surface never touches any part of the case. Each library case includes a specially written and illustrated commentary, by a respected music expert. The composers and their works are discussed in much detail, along with historical background information, which is provided re: the featured Soloists, Orchestras, Conductors, and Ensembles per recording.
