and point out that experimental stereo recordings were made well before, and that the three LSC LP's were not released till much later in the mid to late 60's. Those are some of the few RCA's (classical) which employ minimal miking. First real commercial use of multichannel sound was in 1941 when Disney released Fantasia in the theaters.
When Audio Fidelity released their first LP, there were no stereo Arms or cartridges, IIRC. Magazines of the day were constantly advising that you really needed an identical speaker and electronics to play back stereo. Maybe that's why Quad 57's are often so mismatched in the serial numbers. I met a guy who thought stereo was a passing fad, and his Altec 604's are a mismatched pair, one being a 604B and the other a 604E.
