Re: Even before.............................

That's right!: and I have a Cooke LP somewhere in my stash. That one was a sort of acceptable format, but with the playing time halved, ultimately didn't make it. Made for some weird looking tonearms and headshell adapters, though. Still looking for an arm., too
I don't recall the hill and dale attempts, and am wondering how they could have been modulated for stereo unless they combined it with a side to side displacement.
As for the other comments, I believe Ampex released their first stereo decks in '54. Many companies were already recording in stereo in preparation for the standardization of the stereo LP playback system.
Interestingly, as in the case of the RCA's, the stereo releases were often much later than the mono releases. And then there are the two track mono recordings: early Beatles, and many jazz releases. I used to wonder why the monos had a higher value until I heard those two track releases.
