[78-L] Stereo, stereo wherefore art thou?

[David Weiner]

Yeah, but wasn't the LP market primarily an "adult" clientele until the
Beatles?

        If the teen market was driving record sales, I think the kids 
would choose according to economics.  The kids would buy portable players 
with a single speaker, for example rather than cumbersome stereo.  And the 
transistor radios came with a single mono earplug, and that was a more 
interesting innovation than setting up for the perfect stereo experience 
of music that basically went thumpity thumpity thump.

        I can remember an LP, tho, which claimed it was playable on both 
mono and stereo equipment.
