The Gold & Cream Dream (EMI HMV ASD)
Click & Dream
Despite tepid feedback on our other pictorial spread, Living Decca SXL Blueback Guide, we are proceeding with another internet first; a complete guide to EMI's HMV, "HIS MASTER'S VOICE", ASD Classical titles. For now we don't have CSD classical in this, but that may come. Unlike with Decca/London, we will include opera titles since there are no numbering conflicts. Anything colored or highlighted click and it will take you to another page. Click the catalog number for a nice cover image. Click the title to go to our review. Just Click and Dream.Unlike with the Decca list we have the reissue labels out front. These are all British based, but we will add to them based on reader feedback. The columns with values are for the fair price for a Near Mint Gold & Cream (G&C), Semi-circle (Semi), and Colour Postage Stamp (PS). Unfortunately, we had to axe the Black & White Postage Stamps which are relatively rare while the others are non-existent. We might add those back in under the Reissue columns where space allows, so feel free to comment with these and we'll squeeze them in. The Conductors and Performers are kind of falling off the page, but it is enough. We might compress the Composer & Title Column further by abbreviating the longer titles, but further compression will take a lot of effort, so layout suggestions welcome.
For those eagerly collecting, at this point with the original cover, we favor the Semi label as our bargain favorite over the Color Postage Stamp (PS). The PS is very good as are the even later labels. Some of the later labels at times can be the best option, but the Semi does very well at retaining the originals Gold & Cream's tube flavor while adding a tauter sense of control. This is a generalization, and the stampers tell the real tale, but EMI stamper and pressing knowledge is very limited. If unfamiliar with these labels please see our EMI Family Labelography and Pressings, Part 1 which covers these labels and most of the reissues below. The most amazing thing for the collector is the list of reissue options.
What does a Gold & Cream sound like? Well some are quite average, but the later ones certainly have the nicest highs ever cut with a vacuum tube amp. They are more clinical and impressive at the frequency extremes than a Columbia SAX, but rarely have that dream midrange, but when they do it is really something. At this point we are going to put our Performance and Sound Rating in the Composer & Title column due to a complete lack of space, the pressing reviewed will be underlined. (The Ratings will be single digit so 0 is really a 10!) We often have comments to the reviews with discussion of the reissues.
Note: At this point we are not linking into the sheet so that we may alter the format based on your suggestions. You can click at this point, but your dreams won't come true.

Apart from reminding me that I scratched a new original set of the Barbirolli Mahler 9, nearly 20years back, you should check the WRC list I provided..
ReplyDeleteST822 / 995 / 836 / 829 / 763 (not there: ASD 494) / 995 / 671: not there (ASD 337) / 899 / 673 / 646 / 632 / 596 / 558 / 543
ASD467 is on ESD7161 c/w Weldon: Petite Ste
Barbirolli's RVW5 had an ASD reissue c/w Tallis. SoL
The Bliss Concerto is in an 4LP SLS box (can't be bothered to dig these 2 out..)
Previously mentioned ASD608 had a direct SXLP reprint (30187).
E&OE
RVW5 with Halle, not the early ASD
DeleteMission accomplished otherwise except for AndyW list....
Smartass.
DeleteASD2698 RVW Symphony 5/Philharmonia...Tallis Fantasia/Sinfonia of London
Barbirolli's Halle Symhony 5 was from shellac -reissued on HMV Tresury c/w RVW conducting Symhony 4 (don't have that LP).
Barbirolli Elgar Symphony 1 ASD2748 (Sym.2 ASD2749)
Thanks much. I still have the WRC spreadsheet and I am sure I've dove into quite a bit, but at 1000 items long I got overwhelmed trying to link these to ASD. Sorry on 30187 as I've not really updated my table well past the end of the list here. I will get these in tonight.
ReplyDeleteAndy provided a condensed list and I should line those up too. World Record Club is extremely rare and with the Australian pressings to boot I made need a spreedsheet vacation soon. When I first made my spreadsheet I did not know they were EMI pressings, so the few I saw did not make it in.
We've had some discussion of German pressings and I listed a few French ones for the big titles. Does anyone have views on these, South African, South American, and other foreign pressings? I felt the British superior (much so to American Angel) to other pressings, so from my view as an American collector that is where I've focused the list.

DeleteAndy we want your performace sound ratings for asd. I will put them in. We underline the pressing that is rated so reissues fine.
DeleteSo is ASD Bruckner amazing?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteWe are very conservative on sound rating.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get hold of ASD-578 for years (Prokofiev's 5th being one of my favorite 20th century symphonies). Does anybody have a sense for how it might compare to the CFP issue? The earlier CFP issue has pretty good vinyl.
ReplyDeleteI love Prokofiev, but not his symphonies so much (Classical, no. 1 excepted). Got the RCA recently reviewed, the Merc, and the Classic Everest reissue. I guess I can't connect with those performances fully and need a recommendation. (??)
DeleteFrom Tin Ear's comment below it looks like the CFP is the same as the original, and so a great first purchase in order to sample and see.
In case anyone is taking note of this stuff, I'd point-out that WRC ST1089 was issued 4 years >>after<< ASD2284.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone wishes to 'compare' ASD578 with CFP200 - then both vintages of transfer are on the same (black/white) LP - side 1 '2' is the original / side 2 '2G' is the recut......
OK. I've added a Bruckner entry. I actually had this in my table, but did not put this one in not realizing the important Bruckner connection.
DeleteI find Bruckner (like some Mahler) a bit of an acquired taste. It is amazing how much Schuricht recording go for, two of the most valuabe early ASD.
ReplyDeleteImage hosting issues had prevented adding more hi rez photo links. Solved, so a back log of images just linked. Happy viewing.
ReplyDeleteFinally got the ball rolling with some more nice images. Many of these from AQLs personal library of photos. Most of the major ASD Gold & Creams are available in high rez images now.
ReplyDeleteStarted filling in some of the lesser titles from the beginning of the list.
ReplyDeleteASD 326 is also available as WRC ST 609. Quite a fine sounding record, and rather less expensive than the ASD.
ReplyDeleteBest regards, and thank you for the exceptionally helpful research.
David M.
Thanks for the kind words and information. Updated! We do have an article on WRC and another on the way:
Deletehttp://milestomozart.blogspot.com/2015/08/audio-nervosa-and-matrices-emi-reissues.html
Up through ASD 300 complete except for a few missing titles.
ReplyDeleteAt ASD 288, Regal SREG 1049 appears to be incorrect. SREG 1049 is a match for SAX 2327.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteFirst, your blog is a gem !
I need your advise for Ferras' Tchaikovsky/Mendelssohn concertos with Silvestri.
I'm torn between a EX Gold/cream hmv ASD278 for £82 or a NM SXLP 30122 reissue (early blue HMV concert classic) for £15.
Which one should I take?
Secondly, what about the Orange/black EMI WRC pressing? Dos they sound great?
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Which
Thank you very much for checking out our blog! I think that for the money you would be better off getting the SXLP or WRC. This is a nice recording but I wouldn't put the gold and cream in the upper echelon of EMI/HMV records. You will most likely enjoy the less expensive reissues. Good luck!
DeleteI would go for the WRC. They almost always reuse the exact same stampers as the original. All EMI pressings are good. I have SXLP 30122, but don't recall its sound. The stampers are 10 and 6G (side 2). The G is almost certainly not an original stamper.... Just searched popsike for 'ASD 278 matrix' and the stampers are 2/4. Our list does not show a WRC (World Record Club) version. It may take some time for me to listen to the SXLP as my vinyl rig is down for repairs and I'd have to try it on a friend's system. The price for the SXLP is a bit high. The SXLP might even sound better than the original, but it is hard to say. Unfortunately, we've not come to any exhaustive conclusions on the relative merits. A great way to check the sound of an ASD or SAX is to find an ebay listing with a sound sample. If that sounds recordy/shaky in digital form then you know to stay away. I actually have the ASD 278 pressing mentioned above, so it is in my listening pile I take to other systems. I'll report back in a couple weeks. I'd wait as neither price is great.
DeleteFor pure sound, the classic or analog productions reissues of Heifetz are hard to beat. I really love the Campoli Scottish Fantasy with the Mend VC. The STS or SDD Ace of Diamonds can deliver a rich carpet of base (but many of these lps with same stamper don't sound so good so very much a "hot stamper" situation I'm afraid.) The original blueback I don't have, but would love to get. Sadly just the London CS 6010 is sitting at $170 on ebay with over three days to go (yikes!)
Is there a link to the sheet? This is great information but hard to read in this format. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBlogspot changed a bit so some items take up two lines. Try landscape if on small devices. At this point these prices are out of date.
DeleteI blame Aqlam for the formatting changes haha. Test post.
