I think there were apogees in the art of recording. Would I be out of 
hand to assert that the studios at Apple were second to none during the 
production of the Beatle's "White Album"?
Some of the early stereo stuff is still astounding. My father just asked 
me to find an unusual version of 1812 Overture with Igor Buketoff which 
was from about 1968, in RCA. I found a more recent version on CD. He 
said his record was made during the vinyl crisis and it is full of pits 
and pocks. I digress...
I recall a very early version of 1812 with live cannons that seemed to 
shoot right through the living room walls on my dad's system with center 
channel and a set of rear speakers which used to be driven by a Sansui 
rear amp/synthesizer.
