released April 19, 2024

From Gale Maximum Fidelity Stereo LP of 1976, limited issue, GMFD 1-76-006
Producer: Graham Whiting
Recording engineer: Tryggvi Tryggvason
Recording Assistant: Judith Agar
Technical Supervisor: Ira Gale

Digital transfer and remastering: Ars Vocalis, USA, copyright 2024

In 1976 the founder of Gale Audio Ira Gale produced six LP recordings of classical music packaged in elegant black boxes. Recordings were made without compression or any other signal processing, with a claimed frequency response of 27 Hz to 22 kHz, plus or minus 1 dB.

Dynamic range of the master recordings exceeded 86 dB. Gale Maximum Fidelity recordings were pressed from new compound of 95% virgin vinyl along with a lubricant, stabiliser, plasticiser, and carbon black.

Boxes were specifically designed to minimize warpage and were covered under a ten year warranty which could be exchanged for any reason (scratched, warped, broken, or even worn) once the enclosed registration form was completed. An enclosed booklet provided detail on both the content and recording process.

Today these LPs are highly sought after by collectors as they combined superb engineering with excellent musical performances.

Volume One in this reisuue series, Peter Frankl plays Beethoven's Waldstein and Appassionata Piano Sonatas, is available as CRQ 424
