Classic stereo Decca recordings in mini LP covers- 50 disks $114! The average running time of the disks is 70 minutes. Oodles of great performances in here, and it's quite different than the RCA Living Stereo box. Worth getting both.
Many of my favorites in here... Katchen and Kertesz; Sutherland, Horne and Pavarotti; Britten conducting his War Requiem; Bohm's Bruckner 4; Monteux, Ansermet, Boult, von Karajan, Dutoit, Blomstedt, Ashkenazy's arrangement of Mussorgsky's Pictures, Boskovsky's Viennese Waltzes, Solti's Ring excerpts... Wow!
