Great shapes 'n' spaces!!!

...This is why I love Columbia above all other labels.

My copy of this has the later red labels with semi-circular shaded area with Columbia "magic notes" label, and sadly, not he earliest powder blue/turquoise with silver rim.

...But that matters not a jot.

As this is a veritable piece of titan vinyl (actually thicker, and heavier than my blue/silver copy of SAX 2404!), and shows that whatever Columbia were up to at the time, it was a light-year ahead of anyone else... even Decca and H.M.V.

For while those labels deliver detail, clarity, and a fair bit of weight and power, they are mannered, and even gentlemanly compared to these Columbia SAXs.

This, for instance, being a full symphonic piece, is like those other labels, but with it's sleeves rolled up, dancing lightly on it's toes, and ready to batter you into submission with, well.. AWE.

The soundstage is broader than any other vinyl on the planet, the vinyl itself, silent, ultra detailed in the quitter parts, so that you don't find yourself having to "lean in" to hear the intricacies of the piece.... but then it swells, and explodes with power that can shake your fillings without any loss of detail or distortion.

The weight of the percussion and the deeper strings is menacing, and the whole work yawns over you (Mummy!.. I'm scared!).

...This is not just music they give you here, it's an experience, and these records are, in my opinion ...perfect.
