Re: [ARSCLIST] Early Stereo 1881 and 1931 (Was - Dynadoodoo



I have both LPs & a few additional tracks on tape.

Has a list of all the surviving excerpts ever been published?

(Have I asked this question before?)

The Bell LPs were also nearly impossible to find. I transferred them to tape years ago from copies at the CBC library, but it took until last year before I was able to acquire both LPs for myself. They turn up, but at very high prices on auction lists.

I specified one commonly used player for the Mac that can handle Flac - VLC. You will find a list of players and decoders for the Mac, Solaris, Unix and even the Amiga on the Sourceforge site:

Your remark that nearly every classical LP collector owns the Bell LPs is arrogant and stupid. They were never released commercially.

I had read about the 1881 system,but have never actually heard anything about it.

Oh,BTW,your file won't play on a Mac.

I would assume the Bell Labs stuff,is from those 1979-80 Lps,that nearly every classical Lp collector owns.

Don't forget that Edison supposedly had some expensive,and cumbersome system,that involved three channel/three horn playback.Perhaps someone could give me more detail.

One file, Bell Labs Keller, has two brief programmes on BBC Radio 3 c. 1981
about the Bell Labs experiments in the early 30s and includes a an extract
in stereo. I am afraid that Arther Keller does not confirm my story about
the Black Box. (74MB)

The other file, 1881 Stereo, is a brief Radio 3 broadcast in 1981 about the
1881 stereo transmissions from the Paris Opera, and demonstrates the sound
characteristic using reconstructed microphones on the stage of Covent
Garden. (27MB)

The files are in Flac format. They can be played directly in Winamp, VLC
Media Player, Super (c) etc. They can be converted to Wave using Flac Front
End, Goldwave etc.


The files are taken from a Scotch Metafine tape with Dolby C. The original
recordings were made by me but the tape I used may be a dubbing. However,
the sound quality is acceptable.
