Excerpt from liner notes:
The group was miked with three Austrian made AKG microphones and recorded with a custom built 3 channel stereophonic Ampex magnetic half-inch tape recorder. The three tracks were later mixed in cutting the master disc from which this record was made. Cutting equipment included a Westrex cutting head, Scully automatically variable pitch lathe and Altec amplifiers.
Painstaking processing and laboratory testing make possible frequency range of 16 to 20,000 CPS with nil distorsion and minus 60 DB signal to noise ratio.
This recording is also available on stereophonic Hifi-Records and pre-recorded Hifitape for stereophonic playback.
