Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Decca/London is my favorite of the commercial record labels.

But make sure they are NOT pressed in the USA. I prefer the UK and German Decca LP pressings. As you mentioned many Decca's have no strain on climaxes plus they have a "warm" ambiance with good solid bass and nice imaging and stereo spread. Some of the Phase 4 LPs are not so good, too many microphones, the one exception is the recordings of Bernard Herrmann. I love the Bernard Herrmann Decca's of him conducting his film music.

Basically the early London/Deccas from the 1950-1960's are the best IMHO. Also I prefer London/Deccas on 7 1/2 IPS Reel to Reel but the LPs are pretty good too.
