I noticed this as I was browsing Acoustic Sounds yesterday and have to admit I got a bit excited. Perhaps not so much at the title of the release but the catalogue number. ATEL 00001. To me a number like that implies that more are to follow:

As I say, I am not really interested in the title itself and I already have a great Speakers Corner Decca Ansermet version which performance wise and soundwise is pretty hard to beat.
But as we all know, there were great Telarcs made in the early digital era using the Soundstream gear and these were the ones successfully transferred to SACD some years back (I think this recording however was one of the later ones made on modified Sony PCM gear). But what I would love is for that same Soundstream catalogue to come out on vinyl.
So does anyone know about this (these?) reissues? It does seem a bit inexpensive for a double disk set but then again if sound wasn't a priority they could have just jammed into onto one LP. Not sure I will take the plunge if only because of the performance but I will certianly be interested to see if this is ongoing.
