The incredible world of audiophile records. (3)
Dimostrazione stereo ed effetti sonori - Parte I (1963)
To go back in history...
It all began in 1932, when the American Harvey Fletcher recorded the first stereophonic disc in history (Blumlein, in England – who some credit with the same primacy – would only arrive a year later). However, it wasn’t until 1957 that the small label Audio Fidelity published the first mass-produced stereo record.
It was a success: between the late 1950s and early 1960s, the new toy became more and more popular and beloved.
Thus, a series of records were created to showcase the incredible possibilities of the new technology; it was the dawn of high fidelity.
This record is the Italian version (1963) of the same disc recorded the year before in America and is a delightful gem.
