Hello all, I am seeking to make a list of vinyl records that are at
least in-part untrackable by most, if not all turntable/arm/cartridge
combinations. Records not trackable by the Finial or LT would need to
be marked as separate for this category only. I will recommend 2
items here and I hope other add vinyl listings to this thread. Both
of these are Jazz in this post but I have a classiccal Claudio Arrau
recording on Desmar that I will add later. As a side note in doing
some research for this post I ran across a recording I mentioned in
an earlier discussion. The record is of Heitor Villa Lobos conducting
his own compositions "Bachianas Brasileiras N0. 7, and "Choros No. 6"
both for Orchestra. It is on the Turnabout Vox Historical Series THS
65002.
The first two discs I list as partially untrackable are
#1 Sing Records 532 "manufactured and distributer by the Official
Record Company APS, Copenhagen, Denmark" made in 1988 using master
tapes from King Records for a King records disc issued in 1956. The
title is "Dame Dreaming with/Bill Doggett"
this is a superb pressing of the Bill Doggett Combo standards, but
unfortunately the sax parts are cut so "hot" on the European pressing
it is like a tes disc to see how well your cartridge is capable of
tracking.
#2 Mercury EmArcy Jazz Series EMS 2-401 "Dinah Washington The Jazz
Sides". Again the sax parts on some of the songs are so
overmodulated this can become a test disc to test cartridges. The
recordings were made between 1954 and 1964 and issued then, but this
disc was "reissued" in 1976 as the Mercury item listed above.
Thanks all, Watchking
