The engineering on that Everest Stokowski recording deserves. . .

And the reason you couldn't remember the B-side was because you lack of interest in Azerbaijani music! ;-) (Or maybe it just WAS another recording entirely that you bought!)

The three stages of Stokowski's stereo "Poem of Ecstasy" recordings:

Ah! The happy medium!
