From an overall perspective, what would you guys say is the best Beethoven Symphonies 1-9? Leibowitz/Royal Philharmonic (1961)? Rattle? Gunter Wand? Karajan?

If we're talking about 1977 to around 1987 then there was an awful lot of bad vinyl around, and it affected mostly everybody in the recording industry. First off the oil crisis of the 70's meant that vinyl was being produced pretty damned thin, meaning the mastering engineers had to make compromises to ensure that the record would actually track properly, and then later in the 80's it seemed that a lot of vinyl was mastered treble heavy anyway. I don't really know the reason for that, but I guess the new kid on the block, CD, had something to do with it.
