Thank you 4Track. I did not know there were separate records for the soundtrack and for the recording sessions. The only vinyl I have seen is the two record set RCA VCS-7064. This appears to be the recording session and not a movie soundtrack, which would be most preferable.
Victory at Sea - original LPs Vs Remastered LP or CD
One frequently hears excerpts of these stirring symphonic works on public radio and I have always thought of picking up a copy, either LP or CD. Reading the reviews on Amazon is largely worthless as one reviewer will give 5 stars and the next 1 star for recording quality with little in-depth comment as to why. If you own these works I would be interested in hearing your recommendations. One question I have is I assume these are all monophonic recordings, is that correct.
It has been my experience that the monophonic RCA recordings from this era were quite good, often as good as the remastered versions on certain labels. So my thought is I do not want to spend a wad-o-cash if the originals are reasonably close to any remastered versions.
