RE: As long as a recording has "breathing room," I'm happy. I've enjoyed the Decca "Sonic Stage" very much

Oddly, the "Sonic Stage" term was, as far as I know, never used on the original London issues of the Culshaw-era sets. It must have been something Decca came up with in the UK. I do remember reading in Culshaw's autobiography that it was a marketing term more than anything. Maybe the folks at London Records thought it was too much. At any rate, the London packaging never said anything more than "STEREO" in simple block caps, or "MONO" if one had the mono version.
