Golden Age Of Stereo Recording

[MylesBAstor]

I was finally able to track down on the internet a copy of this recommended recordings list from the July 1965 issue of Stereo Review magazine. It took a little searching and ingenuity but it was time well spent. So many great recordings on this list from 1965!

Of special note are the world music recordings including Sasha Polinoff and The Fastest Balakaika in the West. Polinoff back then was a fixture at the Russian Tea Room in NYC. Don't miss the Serrano, or Ali Akhbar Khan (the rarer 45 rpm release has mind boggling sonics!) either.

Love the record changer. I still have one that operates. Don’t you hate the sets of disks that are 1-6, 2-5, 3-4 to match the changer?

I remember this list. It was not of much interest to me as a budding music lover. It reminded me too much of the compulsory music appreciation class.
