I run across some now and then, looking for new stuff to play. My dad had quite a few of the "newer" releases, Chet Atkins and Eddy Arnold that I've seen. I have a Van Cliburn album that has Living Stereo over the RCA Victor Red Seal emblem, but I don't see it listed on the discography in your link. I've still got hundreds of albums to dig through, I always perk up when these surface.

the Mercury Living Presence series was a great competitor ...their big selling point was that they were recorded on 35mm mag film.

I've been getting as many of the discrete 3-channel CD's as I can of these. Actually hearing a 3-mic recording played back the way it was meant to be is really marvelous.

I'm going to get the 60 CD set of RCA but I also remember the Mercury series and will check that out.:)

I have many on LP, but not a single on CD. My curiosity is piqued now, and will have to grab a few of my favorite titles to see how they sound! :)

There is one RCA LS entitled "Audiophile Sampler" but LPs are the best but for basically listening I enjoy CDs.
