Re: Readers Digest Find

I don't have that set, but it's very likely a collection of reissued cuts from dozens of different original LPs from the late '50s-early '60s. Gerhardt would indeed have been the producer for most/all of them, and Kenneth Wilkinson the engineer.

RD reissued lots of their most popular stuff every few years, over and over in different combinations. Most of them are pretty good; originals are typically better. The cuts that weren't originally Dynagrooved probably aren't Dynagrooved in your set either, regardless of the label.

You certainly can't go wrong for five bucks. Enjoy them, and keep searching for originals of the ones you like. (I presently have five "Festival of Light Classics" boxes; one of these years I might listen to all 60 records and assemble a relatively-undamaged cherrypicked set.)
