| | Mercury recordings have this natural sound-stage as if you were sitting in a chair in the concert hall facing the stage. | | | The performance was recorded on three tracks on 1/2 inch tape and later on 35 mm magnetic film recorders were used. | | | Mercury's first classical release in the Olympian Series: Aram Khatchaturian's Violin Concerto performed by David Oistrakh and conductor Alexander Gauk, a recording which sometime later could be found on many different record labels. |

| | Mercury records that were recorded at Walthamstow and Watford Town Halls often were recorded with the orchestra playing, seated in chairs on the concert hall floor. | | | Mercury Living Presence records were recorded with simplicity by great craftsmen. | | | The manufacturing codes on Mercury records with Vendor Labels can be identical to the codes on Mercury records with plain labels. |

| | Kiss |
| | After he recorded a song called "Dirty Livin'"' he was asked to step down from recording on the album. | | | The show was recorded for an upcoming CD/DVD release, and it also gave Kiss the chance to do some of their old songs that hadn't been recorded live before, including the song "Shandi", which was a big hit in Australia when it was released in 1980. | | | The band refused to release records under that moniker, so they severed their relationship with Universal for good, and formed their own record label, Kiss Records, to release the band's albums. |

| | hi-fi+ Music - The History Man on the re-issuing the US Mercuries |
| | The vinyl on vendor pressings (this phrase appears on the label, not on the jacket) is usually thinner with a sharp edge. | | | The great thing about tape hiss is that it is always, on whatever record you're listening to, at the same frequency and your mind and ear have a way of tuning this hiss out of the picture. | | | This is the only situation I've come across in which records with identical stamper numbers, but one having "Vendor" printed on the label, sound totally different. |

| | They reunited in September 1983 for a live concert album released on Mercury Records and resumed touring and recording together. | | | Their records were among the most immaculately crafted and innovative of the era, a testimony to the brothers’ musical vision and to the skill of the Nashville session players who proved themselves adept at executing more than they were often given credit for. | | | By the time the brothers signed with Cadence Records in March 1957 (a deal midwifed by music publisher Wesley Rose of Acuff-Rose), they were singing teenage playlets crafted by songwriters Boudleaux and Felice Bryant overlaid with randb rhythm patterns. |

| | By now, long-playing records had replaced 78s as listeners' format of choice, and—thanks in large part to ten years' worth of ongoing Jazz at the Philharmonic releases—the public was accustomed to extended live performances on record. | | | By the time the long-playing record album was introduced to the marketplace a few years later, the landmark Jazz at the Philharmonic release was already a part of American record buyers' vocabulary. | | | For nearly half a century, Verve Records has stood as one of jazz's most respected and influential institutions, playing a seminal role in the music's development as a recorded art form while working tirelessly to help expand its audience. |
