International Preview Society

These were exclusive "Record Club" pressings meant for "mail order" from a variety of major European classical labels of the time including: Philips, Archiv Produktion and Deutsche Grammophon. This series incorporates the vinyl mastering from original tapes and similar cover artwork and can appear like regular pressings. Some noticeable differences are the company letter included and the spine information re: "The International Preview Society". The club limited its selection to albums which have won international prizes for excellence, such as those given by France's "Grand Prix Du Disques" or Holland's "Edison Awards".
