A real nice sampler:
Stereophonic sound, also simply called stereo, is the reproduction of sound using two or more audio loudspeakers. This creates a pleasant and natural sound heard from various directions, as in natural hearing.
The word “stereophonic” comes from Greek stereos = “solid” and phōnē = “sound”. It was coined by Western Electric.
In popular usage, stereo usually means two-channel sound recording and sound reproduction using data from two speakers. The electronic device for playing back stereo sound is often called “a stereo”. (wikipedia)
And this album tried to get people excited about stereophony. And we hear funny easy listening music… played by more or less totally unknown orchestras and musicians.
Enoy it !
