"The Classical Synthesizer" was recorded on a 4-Track Studer J-37 tape recorder. To add on more than four tracks, the first four tracks were mixed down to 2-track stereo and then overdubbed, and the process repeated until the work was completed. It says a lot for the J-37 Studer that one title on the LP actually contains eleven individually recorded tracks.
I recommend that you play this disc on a very good hi-fi system and if you own a Quadrophonic synthesizer, listen to it through that system - the sound will amaze you. Be careful not to damage your speakers playing the Bach "Toccata"!!

The UK pressing had a different cover from the US pressing. Honestly, I have never been much for classical music, but I can see where Mike Hankinson was coming from. I do think his take on Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" was great, especially that low note where the album warns you not to damage your speakers.

Notes
This record is the first L.P. ever to be recorded using only the Electronic Music Studios "Synthi" VCS-3. This instrument has the capability of producing virtually any sound, but was used purely as a straight musical instrument on this L.P. Its range is from the sub-audible to ultra-sonic. No one musical instrument can be played over the range of the VCS-3 synthesizer. RPM’s model being completely standard, with the Cricklewood 3-octave keyboard. The only modification was done at RPM Studios - a potentionmeter control was added, which gave a sliding octave up or down, by rotating the control, thus extending the keyboard to 5 octaves."The Classical Synthesizer" was recorded on a 4-Track Studer J-37 tape recorder. To add on more than four tracks, the first four tracks were mixed down to 2-track stereo and then overdubbed, and the process repeated until the work was completed. It says a lot for the J-37 Studer that one title on the LP actually contains eleven individually recorded tracks.
I recommend that you play this disc on a very good hi-fi system and if you own a Quadrophonic synthesizer, listen to it through that system - the sound will amaze you. Be careful not to damage your speakers playing the Bach "Toccata"!!
