EMI Electrola 'Dacapo'  137 290345 3  (2LP)   c.1984 German pressings.  Due to variable German EMI filtering/'noise-reduction' by 'Anon'
(plus some rough shellac surfaces) these performances are hardly heard at their best!  Have applied some minimal 'de-click' with slight treble boost (mostly ineffective due to limited retained frequency-range). Mainly for 'un-fussy pianophiles'....  Full recording/composition details >>>

My 2013 78 Transfer of "Paganini Rhapsody"  FLAC  Mega Download       HMV  C.3062-4    Mint 1947 pressings.  Matrices: 2EA.7178-7183 (IIA/I//I/I/II/I) 
APR 7004  (2LP's 1987)   Transferred by Bryan Crimp from shellacs + EMI's previous tape copy transfer of PC1: the 78 matrices then destroyed..  
Bryan Crimp's transfer of PC1 retains a 'tape editing flaw' in mvt.3 (which I've removed - amongst much editing..) but, Strangely,  Mr Pristine's 'new release'  has the same fault (subdued, but still audible despite all the 'processing': which can make Moiseiwitsch sound like he's playing on a Pub Piano in the famed acoustics of the XR ConvoluteGebouw..).
