[78-L] stereo, ca. 1932

[lastofthebarons]

There is, of course, the well known 3 Feb 1932 stereo recordings of   
Duke Ellington and His Orchestra by RCA Victor. What were previously  
thought to be two takes are in fact separate recordings of the same  
take, which provide the left and right channels. I don't know if the  
original intent was to produce a stereo  or whether the result was a  
lucky by-product of making two recordings in case one master was  
damaged. Whatever, the results speak for themselves.

Best wishes,
