I'm David.
CBS used to multi-mic and multi-track everything in sight and the mix was from the conductor's perspective, rather than from someone on the audience. Some later Karajan recordings on DG, where he'd got behind the mixing console and "tweaked" himself, were re-mixed some years later to excellent effect, the venue atmosphere far more in evidence, although the sound wasn't as obviously "deeeeeeetailed" in comparison I remember.

Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

Slight correction to what Marco has written:
Each label had it's own EQ curve but they were not RIAA curves. The RIAA curve was just one of several attempts to achieve a standardisation across the industry. Other 'standard' curves were devised by AES & NAB.

Yes, but can you also adjust the dirge levels up or down????
I don't understand why anyone should be looking out their windows checking for burning crosses in their front garden, or change their name and wear a disguise outdoors because they have resorted to using a . . . [GULP] . . . graphic equaliser, or have the nerve to adjust their tone controls. Yes, I did just type that. Quite often I wish I had these aforementioned devices to make the unlistenable recordings listenable, so bollox to the purists I say

Ah, OK, thanks for that Barry!
this link seems to be the relevant one?
Info there appears to imply that by the time of the 60's and 70s CBS (Columbia) recordings I've been on about the RIAA curve was accepted and used by pretty much everyone.
Or have I got that wrong?

I think it was sent Parcel Farce 48 - so probably today.
The Yammie's got a tape-out, so I'll probably link that up to my Akai equaliser so I don't lose that fab display!

...if they haven't dropped it from a great height, put a calling card in your letterbox even thought you were in, fail to answer the phone despite trying 25 times, put it back out for delivery after you have arranged to collect it, etc.
