Musical Heritage Society LP's


I recently stumbled upon an abundant source of MHS classical LP's that seem to be in excellent condition. Anybody have experience with these productions? How is the sound quality? Performances? Should I buy them all (for quite cheap) and add mass to my bookshelf? Thanks to those in the know!

Buy them if they are in good condition. I picked up 100, or so, early MHS LP's, on the cheap, and enjoy them very much.

That said, I can purchase mint copies all day long, in my area, for 50 cents to $1 each, so don't pay too much.

I purchased the batch for $20-$40 (can't remember exactly) and considered it a bargain as they were all unplayed and mint. Lot's of spirited performances on this label, from my sampling.

They have catalog numbers on them. The ones that I picked up start in the 300's and end up in the 2300's or so. I have seen later digital LP's by MHS and even have a few CD's by them.

As far as the range that I own goes, I have never noticed the later ones sounding better/worse, though I have looked @ even later ones in the thrifts that are pressed on thin/flimsy stock.
