Following the success of the "Decca Sound" CD box sets a few years ago
they also released a box of the "Phase Four" recordings. Having listened
to them, what struck me was that the recordings D'Amato were credited
with were louder and more distorted than the recordings made by others.
So overall the results varied from 'spectacular' to 'awful'.
Had a pal who worked for Decca in the day. He reckoned the Phase 4 stuff
was specifically designed to sell to 'Hi-Fi' enthusiasts. And rather
frowned upon by those who made the many very good Decca traditional
recordings.
