hifinut 11th Mar 2018		Classical Item Sir Thomas Beecham And The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Scheherazade	This was one of the first stereo records I bought. I think it was in 1959. I have just played this on my present system and the stereo imaging ( EMI crossed ribbon mikes very simple arrangement I assume! ) is superb!! The matrix numbers on my copy are Side 1 2YEA 5-7 Side 2 2YEA 6-8 Seems odd? I am not familiar with details of pressing technology; maybe they had to change a "plate"? part way through the run. When I first started work, the Company had an Arts and Science Club and one of the first meetings ( In Liverpool ) I attended was a demonstration of EMI 's Stereosonic Sound. This product was released in 1956 I believe with content on 7.5 inches / sec two track magnetic tape. This leads me to suspect that ASD251 was recorded that early. Two EMI scientists came along with an impressive radiogram style cabinet and matching speaker And demonstrated a series of excerts from the stereo repertoire. It was VERY impressive.
