Seeburg 1000- Encore 33 (Supp. Pack 2)- B11- In My Solitude- Arturo Somohano & Puerto Rico Philharmo

Описание: The Seeburg Encore series was a short-lived but high-fidelity programmed music system aimed at home listeners. Marketed as "foreground music," Encore records played at 16⅔ RPM and featured wider groove spacing than Seeburg's commercial 1000-series, resulting in enhanced audio fidelity and richer sound. These recordings were designed for private ownership, typically housed in elegant, wood-finished Encore consoles that blended seamlessly into mid-century home décor.

This upload features material from Encore Release No. 32, issued in 1964 as part of Library Supplement Pack 2 (Records 32–37). Encore releases like this one are rarely heard today, with many tracklists still undocumented in public archives.

🧾 About the Encore Series (1963–1968):
-High-fidelity 16⅔ RPM records with 2-inch center holes
-Wider groove spacing (25% less dense than standard Seeburg 1000 records)
-Designed for home listening, not commercial leasing
-Premium wooden cabinet machines sold outright at $695 (1963 pricing)
-Discontinued after just five years due to commercial limitations
Now prized by collectors for both fidelity and rarity

🕰️ Historical Context:
The Encore series represented Seeburg's attempt to bring premium programmed music into private homes and intimate commercial spaces. Unlike the subscription-based Seeburg 1000 system, Encore machines and records were purchased outright, creating a smaller but more exclusive market.

Supplement packs like this one were additional purchases that allowed owners to swap out records from the original starter collection (records 1-25) for variety. Considering the Encore machine itself was already an expensive proposition at $695 in 1963, these supplement packs represented a niche within a niche—an optional add-on for an already premium system that few could afford. This explains why so few supplement packs survive today, making releases like Encore 32 particularly rare to hear in their complete form.
