All this business about who hired whom is completely irrelevant to the question of what was the first stereo LP. I'm sorry but there's no rational argument for a shellac wide groove record with a groove pitch half that of a modern record and a playing time no longer than 9 minutes being called an LP. Since 1948 the term is universally understood to mean a 33 1/3 RPM vinyl microgroove record. The RCA 33 1/3 records are doubly irrelevant since no stereo recordings were ever issued in that format.
