#classicalmusic - I already have copies of copies of many of these
recordings (radio concerts with extreme intensity): Berlin Philharmonic,
1939-1945, Furtwängler conducting. From tapes returned by Soviet Union.
Haven't opened this box (issued 2019, still available) yet.

I have them and they are in fake stereo.
They could have issued them in best quality,
but instead they felt they had enough sound
quality on the original tapes to waste it on
fake stereo.
