Listings of Mercuries follow on the next page
LP's: Mercuries
For the SR series (and some of the others) I am now replacing my previous pressing designation by means of label-type with designations by means of stamper numbers, since most of my customers seem to find that information more complete and useful. The FR's are the earliest stampers, followed by the RFR's, CFR's and M's. FR stampers no longer appeared in issues with numbers above about SR-90265 (some earlier numbers may also have been pressed first as RFR's), and there were no RFR's either above about SR-90500. Excellent (or mint) copies of Mercury's early stereo pressings (particularly those with the early FR stampers), like those of most companies in the late 50's and early 60's, sometimes grade A- but frequently have a degree of surface noise which falls a little below my audition grade of A-, yet is quieter than what I grade B+. These are graded "A- to B+." Items graded A- are very fine copies of very quiet pressings, and grades above that are exceptional.
1018.*LPS-9000: BEETHOVEN - Wellington's Victory; Leonore #3 & Prometheus Overtures. Dorati/LSO. [With cannons & muskets of the period from West Point; Deems Taylor narrates tapes from artillery recording sessions; this copy does indeed include the British and French flags you are supposed to put on your speakers (!), almost always missing from copies of this record; all the Wellington hoopla tends to obscure the great sound in the Leonore #3 especially.

[TAS 44:169; November 20, 1954; while this recording of the Ginastera does not have quite the polished playing of Leinsdorf's wonderful BSO disc, some of the tutti sections have tremendous power - especially the finale, horns and timpani especially] [MF-4/MF-8] A- 19.00

LP's: RCA's
I am now listing RCA's all together in one group when they are either early pressings in which customers have indicated an interest, or when they are later pressings of issues which have had a particular following. Records are listed alphanumerically by prefix and number. Codes for pressings refer to label types, and are given in brackets just before the grade at the end of the listing (e.g. [SD]). RCA pressing codes are as follows:
PD = Plum Dog (Nipper, the RCA/HMV dog, shown against a shaded plum background; used for the last RCA classical mono issues, c.1954-1958).
SD = Shaded Dog (as above, but with fire-engine red background; used during the early stereo era, c.1958-1963, for both mono and stereo classical issues except some Sorias).
WD = White Dog (also called "Plain Dog"; Nipper here is against an unshaded background of Christmas red; used for all classical issues except Sorias c.1964-1969).
ND = No Dog (large "RCA" in open white letters on left of label; c.1969-1977).
LD = Late Dog (small dog on upper right of label against dark red; c.1977 forward).
BL = Black label (for popular records almost exclusively)
CP = Canadian Pressing.
PL = Plum Label (for Victrola [VIC or VICS] issues, the earliest pressings, c. 1964-1968).
SS = Soria Series (special label of Christmas red with no dog used only for the Sorias; the first Sorias had SD labels, but switched to SS about 1961 - before WD era).
I am now also including the stamper numbers of each stereo disc (and some monos too) next to the pressing code. If the information is available I also show the names of the producer and engineer in another pair of brackets. Please note that for these issues - as for most records from the early stereo era - copies in apparently mint condition frequently grade "A- to B+" in my audition. Copies graded A- are very fine, and higher grades are quite extraordinary from this period.
