early stereo
I just came across something that belongs in a timeline.
In 1934, Victor tried stereo recording -- by literally cutting one disc for
the left, another for the right, to be played simultaneously.
Two artists were selected for this experiment -- Duke Ellington, and Leoplod
Stokowski.
It should also be mentioned that Stoki really was the artistic pioneer of
recording. Appalled by the crude sound of early records, he had a "sound lab"
constructed under the stage of the Academy Of Music (in Philly), where
refinements for recording were developed.
Being from The City Of Brotherly Love, I am somewhat proud of this.
