Re: [ARSCLIST] Early stereo mass market tapes

Hey Roger,

   I don't think you can blame the "stereo Beatles stuff" for out of phase
audio.  I was familiar with a radio station in Houston that had the output
of its stereo cart machines wired out of phase.  Lead vocals to most
songs vanished...and mono material...particularly commercials...was
not there at all.   Hmmmm...maybe this out of phase business isn't so bad!
