...grope your way in the half-dark to an empty seat at a beer-laden table. Your eyes are immediately attracted to the stage, and through the smoke of cigarettes and cigars you can see Lola, the Queen of the Blue Angel.

Unlike Angel, which is importing finished recordings, Epic imports master tapes, manufactures its records in the U.S. Epic's first releases concentrate on such symphonic war horses as Beethoven's Fifth, Schubert's Unfinished and Tchaikovsky's Pathetique, in performances by such orchestras as Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, The Hague and Berlin Philharmonics...
