2 more everest 5000s and the first 3 LPBR 6000s
The last two LPBR 5000s are less obviously Steinweiss, or at least the Spain one is not obvious. The first three 6000s that I have include Ebony Concerto, which I think is a nice cover.
next few Steinweiss Everest covers, LPBR5000s
It is fun to see the range of things that Steinweiss could do, knowing that the whole series is his. The only one of these I would buy for its beauty is Songs of Hawaii. Gloria Lynne is a fine … Continue reading

three more London SPC covers
The Stokowski one is the one that is pictured in a book. What of the other two? Is Overtures good enough to be Steinweiss?
London SPC series – Phase 4 Stereo
One of the last series of covers that Steinweiss worked on were these, the London Phase 4 Stereo covers. All had fold open covers. A few of them appear in the Steinweiss books. These four, or at least three of … Continue reading
