From the liner notes: "This record was produced without compromise. Mark Levinson Audio Systems built special equipment for use with calibration microphones and high-speed wide-track tape... format to create virtually noiseless, ultra-low distortion master tapes, without noise reduction systems. Robert Ludwig mastered the records by feeding the original tape through a custom mixer directly into the cutting amplifier track, with no filtering, limiting, or other effects. CIDIS, manufacturer of Philips and D. G. G. records in France, developed special pressing techniques to produce the most quiet record surfaces possible with today's material and technology, and the skill of their chiefs of staff. Producing records in this manner may not be practical by conventional industry standards as it requires a great deal of time and patience. Achieving no-compromise quality means sacrificing convenience and cost-effectiveness, in favour of what we know to be the best possible way. Note: 1. This record must be reproduced through high quality playback equipment in order to give you the satisfaction you expect. In particular, be sure to use a phono cartridge which is in good condition. Otherwise, the disc may be damaged after one play. 2. This record reproduces clearly the sound of the concert hall, the "air" or "space" around the music itself. Natural sound is brought out by playback at a volume level that corresponds to the spatial reality of the music. Taking care to find this level adds to the realism of the sound you hear in your room. For the Acoustic Recording Series, musicians were asked to prepare programs which could be released without splicing passages. In this way, the coherency and immediacy of the musical event, rather than the note-by-note perfection of the spliced tape, are preserved."
These records were some of the first audiophile Lp releases, and are still considered by many to be some of the top audiophile vinyl records ever made. They are long out of print, and unlikely to be reissued.
