Notes
Rare UHQR (Ultra High Quality Recording) Box Set. Erich Kunzel Conducting The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Rare 200gm Pressing Manufactured At The Same Plant That Pressed The Mobile Fidelity UHQRs. This Series Was Hand Numbered On The Labels And This Particular Copy Is Number 232. Interestingly, Held To A Strong Light One Can See Through This Thick Chunk Of Vinyl.

This is from "a former Telarc Employee"

"What I remember was establishing that Telarc would not press more than 5000 of the UHQR release, and didn't as the demand for it was low. Telarc had already saturated the market with the standard version which was very well pressed, though not 180 gram. No one in Germany or the U.S. (including a recent attempt made 4-5 years ago at Record Technology in CA) could press a 180 gram version of this because of how deep the canyons (grooves) were and how hard it was to fill them properly--hence they were made in Japan. There are no records left of how many Telarc actually sold but if I had to guess, I would say it was at most 3500, and could have been less."

The higest know serial number seen to date is 2935.
