It also  would be nice to have a cartridge which can survive the tracking
torture  tests on the classic 1959 Command LP "Persuasive Percussion",
whose  selections are well-known to cause even so-called "hi-fi" cartridges
to  break down into the tell-tale crackling, snaps, and distortion caused
by  mistracking.  (Quite surprisingly, "Persuasive Percussion"  actually
made it to CD in 1995 and is available on Amazon.com, but without  the
attraction of putting an 'audiophile' turntable through its paces, the  CD
version is now simply marketed as 'bachelor pad music'.  Thus my  original
LP is worth to me far more than the $1.00 I paid for it at a used  record
store.)

There was also  "Provocative Percussion" another Command Label record  that 
was very good.   Was it Command that recorded all its music on 35  mm Magnetic 
Film and then made a limited number of pressings from the  master?
 
We had a stereo scope and they really would do some impressive patterns  when 
played.
