Decca Phase Four Stereo Crossover Collection

The new Decca Box Phase 4 Stereo Spectacular (Ltd. Edition) provides a comprehensive overview of some of the most spectacular sonority albums ever made, from a period when Decca had a clear technological advantage over its label competitors. Phase 4 soon became one of the leading suppliers of so-called nice 'n' easy repertoire - which is fully presented here on 40CDs: everything from exotic Latin percussion to famous television music and spectacular film scores — a true treasure trove of music just waiting for to be discovered. Phase 4 Stereo was founded in 1961 as an American subsidiary of Decca and quickly became famous for its characteristic warm and rich sound, so the label expanded the bandwidth and spectrum of recorded sound in a legendary way. Featuring some of the most celebrated performers of their time, including Edmundo Ros, Stanley Black, Ted Heath, Ronnie Aldrich and Frank Chacksfield; many of the albums are released on CD for the first time. All CDs appear in their original cover design, complemented by a 128-page colored booklet.
