Re: [ARSCLIST] Early stereo mass market tapes

And those terrible effects continues through the era, i.e. I got one stereo 
45 rpm licensed from RCA and pressed in Yugoslavia 1966 (numbers in runout 
grooves say 2281966), EPRC-S-9137 A and EPRC-S-9137 B. Record is titled: "In 
The Sound of Stereo" (aprox. translation from Serbo-Croatian to English). 
First side is straight, it is "Fascination", played by George Melachrino 
Orchestra, with strings added, it sounds sweet and perfectly well.

The opposite side - "The Flight of The Bumble Bee" (Ray Martin Orchestra) 
has some of the weirdest sound effects, I remembered very well from my 
childhood (the record came from my father's collection) - "random" panning 
of flute solo and even the whole stereo image, probably done by manually 
turning the balance L/R knob while cutting/recording. When I was kid, it was 
fun to listen to on old plastic portable stereo record player, indeed, and 
now it is a pain :))) But, so effect was not unproductive, at least I 
remembered it...
