Munch's saint-saens 3rd organ sym is a good one. my only quibble is some muddiness in the lowest bass/pedal stops. every copy ive owned was this way so me thinks its on the tape. the granddaddy in my collection is fremaux's with the Birmingham sym orch. on EMI. its been on HPs list for years and reissued by klavier on 180g vinyl. the 1st press black/silver label EMI smokes the klavier - its a stunning record and among the most sought after EMIs. for RBCD the eugene ormandy/michael murray with the Philadelphia orch on Telarc gets played often.
I thought that Munch's 3rd smoked the Fremaux for the organ power on the lowest notes..... that may be because my 1st press Munch is in much better shape than my 1st press Fremaux. I didn't hear any muddiness - I thought that it had one of the cleanest low pedal notes of all my organ recordings. The SACD in particular is spectacular.
i like the Munch, i like the fremaux more then again i don't have access to the genesis 1.2s today i own the orig Munch, i don't own the classic reissue, ill take your word on that comparo. the SACD may reveal the true bass quality of the munch against all vinyl variants until chad or someone attempts a 45 rpm release
Yeah - that's one 45 rpm release that I'd buy.
I just got a sealed box set of the Classic one-sided 45 rpm of the Gounod/Faust today. Haven't opened it yet
Considering that I have a first press, as well as the original Classic 180gm pressing, I don't know if I want to unseal it - considering how much the box set is going for...... and mine is still sealed.

Superb percussion to show off your system - Dave Brubeck " Time Further Out", side 2.
Played it for Jazzhead a few days back. Perhaps he will chime in with his comments

Succinct, but to the point!
Now available on vinyl - Record Store Day 2014 limited edition. They didn't have a copy at my local store, but they were available on Amazon. I posted it yesterday on Facebook, and coincidentally Amazon sold out by the afternoon.
how does it compare to the RBCD? I bought 3 copies just in case...
Haha! Good one. Only 600 copies were made of the red/black vinyl and 400 copies of the blue/black vinyl. I bought two copies of each color.
I enjoy it a LOT more than the RBCD. It took just the first few seconds of The Sun Road for me to go and buy more copies. The cymbal work by Bozzio is just so much clearer it's insane. I thought that the RBCD was already very good - the vinyl is far better all round.
This is the red vinyl. I'm still waiting for my blue copies to come from Germany.
Nice. who's selling the blue vinyl?
