This month's issue (July, '83) of "High Fidelity" contains several CD reviews
as well as the article about multi-miking that I referred to on the net
earlier this week.  The Mercury recordings were classics (not only classical
music but also classics in sound quality) and some of the smaller record
companies (notably Telarc) learned from their example.  Why the big boys didn't
may be due to the economic pressures to fix bugs in the mix - but the close
multi-miking sounds bad enough on conventional LP's and CD's will just make
things worse.
