About this Item

Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "High Fidelity" (mono) vinyl record album, Imperial LP 9028, first pressing with original maroon label, very-good-plus vinyl with some superficial scratches which cannot be felt in a very good glossy cardboard jacket which is partially split (top and bottom) and shows previous owner's initials in red ink to verso. Jacket states "LP 9028" to verso, which matches the label. So what are we to make of the curious "Recorded in Stereophonic Sound" small print to upper right corner of the front of this jacket? This record may (just possibly) have been RECORDED in stereo, but it plays mono -- we can't discern any difference between the channels other than the fact that one is considerably weaker. Furthermore, when this LP was re-released in 1968 as a "stereo" record, it was re-numbered LP-12389 (R), with the (R) standing for "re-channeled," indicating they had no stereo tapes of these cuts to work from. So we'll be generous and call the stereo reference on this 1957 jacket "an error." This album catalogs $150 in NM/NM, while this copy is VG-plus/VG. Here reduced from $40.
