Richard Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra (1960/1994) {Classic/RCA LSC-1806 180g} 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip + Redbook CD Version

This is part of a Classic Records Deluxe 1S Edition Box Set of RCA Living Stereo "Shaded Dog" releases. LSC 1806 is the stereo of LM 1806, and is the Living Stereo LP with the earliest recording date (1954). It was not, however the first Living Stereo issued. That would be LSC 2201, . LSC 1806 was issued in 1960, but when Reiner and Chicago recorded Zarathustra again in 1962 (LSC 2609), the 1954 recording was deleted from the LSC catalogue, and issued on Victrola as VICS 1265. LSC 1806 was only in print for about 18 months, and wasn't a huge seller, as it had already been available for 6 years on mono LP and in stereo on 2 track tape. A lot of the people who wanted it already had it. This is why it is so rare.
