Early sound adventures

 

There have been a member of constants in my life of which a love of music specifically recorded music is one of them.

This recorded which as originally issued in 1958 but my copy which was reissued in 1963 is something I have owned since the age of 8 was a very early demonstration disc designed to show with Geoffrey Sumner narrating just what stereophonic sound which was in its infancy then could offer the listener.

It remains in excellent condition being very well cared for.

It has a mixture of 1950's popular, big band and orchestral recordings that to this day sound incredible for their era, a testament to the Decca recording engineers and is lead off with a recording of a steam train setting off which by ten years time had been fully removed from British Railways regular services in favour of diesel-electric ones
