Very fine performance. EMI's quieter recording + EQ  sadly gives 5+dB more 'crackle' compared to an EMI-pressed RCA.

Recorded: 5 December 1938 - EMI Studio 1, Abbey Road 
Sounds OK/exciting: about an octave more treble than Bryan Crimp's 1987 APR transfer (some slight 'wear' traces due to the extended treble?) 

Transferred RIAA 78rpm to CD-RW- then adjusted:-get a different sound ('softer') than by transferring direct to Terratec soundcard with no EQ @ 33rpm...

(One of the discs of the Rachmaninov PC2 'broke' whilst removing it from the album - so that won't get uploaded!)
