I was there too, and starting in 1959 when I was 13 when I bought a 
record I ALWAYS got the stereo LP if it was available.  *I* was the one 
in my family who had the big hi-fi unit, but my sister had gotten a 
Columbia stereo portable with detachable speakers a few months before I 
got my stereo turntable for my system, and she also was buying pop 
stereo LPs rather than mono if they were available.
