In Reply to: What year did "Stereo" recordings start posted by vital ital on August 2, 2006 at 15:10:54:
HMV in England were recording in stereo, using two microphones to pick up the sound and two cutting tables to record it, Duke Ellington, Leo Reisman, Hoagy Carmichael,, Waring's Pennsylvanians, the D'Oyly Carte Company, The BBC Symphony under Sir Edward Elgar, Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward were all recorded in binaural stereo sound. This experiment lasted far into the 30's, resulting in records which, when taken individually, are perfectly ordinary monaural, but when paired with their "mates" from the other cutting table, yield spectacular stereo sound..."

March, 1985This from the liner notes of "Reflections In Ellington" - Everybodys 3005, an LP that features The 1932 Ellington Orchestra in true stereo. Great stuff!!!
For all intents and purposes, commercial stereo began in 1958.
"Monophonic" was generally phased out by 1968.
"Music is the can-opener of the soul"
Henry Miller.
This of course does not help frozen food fans...
