SRD-1: Stereo Sampler Vol.1 / Various Artists

Label Type :	marron Mercury type ?
Matrix Number :	SIDE-A	SRD-1A FR1 A2 I
	SIDE-B	SRD-1B FR4 A1 I

Comments

Pressing quality is not so good, resulting rattling sound in louder volume (this is NOT due to my record player nor my cartridge). Especially sound of A-6 and B-3 is poor.

Inside The Groove

“Stereo Sampler” as the title says, to demonstrate high fidelity of Mercury's stereo recordings.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)
