Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Claude Debussy Available Now
In 2005 we played an excellent original pressing of Debussy’s Iberia (LSC 2222) and compared it to the Classic Records reissue. We wrote:
This is a wonderful sounding Shaded Dog pressing. Side two is especially dynamic.
This has long been considered one of the Living Stereo triumphs. The spaciousness and tonal correctness are legendary. However, this copy does not have the prodigious bass of some that I’ve heard.
The Classic reissue has plenty of deep bass, but it’s shrill and hard and altogether unpleasant, so the better bass comes at a steep price.
For better sounding recordings of Iberia, we know of two and they can be found by clicking here.
