ALFONSO VEGA NUNEZ
"The Morelia Cathedral Organ"
Original German 1905 Walker Organ, Recorded Live in Michoacán, Mexico
1953 First Press Binaural-Stereo 33rpm LP Black/Yellow "Binaural" Labels COOK RECORDS 1056 ("A-1/B-1" etched first press matrix numbers)
NOTE: Cook Records are a highly prized label by Collectors because in 1952 they were the first company to produce commercial stereo records, which Emory Cook called "Binaural". Around 60 "Binaural" recordings were released in all. Binaural stereo sound was achieved by putting the output from two separate microphones on two independent monaural tracks on the same side of a 12" record. One stylus played the outside track while the other stylus played the inner track simultaneously; the grooves of the first channel formed a single "band" that was concentric with and surrounded a second band that started about halfway into the record and which contained the grooves of the second stereo channel (see 3rd photo for channel separation). The common early stereo records that could play each wall of a single groove as a separate track, known as V-groove stereo LPs, as well as the cartridge that was a standard part of their use, were not released until 1957. Therefore, Cook beat his competitors to issuing stereo LPs by 5 years. While there are many vinyl enthusiasts that collect Cook's Binaural LPs, very few ever get to play them in stereo because you need a working Cook Laboratories Binaural Stereo to do so. Often these records are damaged from confused collectors, but I've been told that you can play an individual section on some turntables and hear the tracks separately. Thankfully, this LP--as well as several more Binaural LPs that I'll be listing in the near future--are still in very fine condition and should play nicely on the correct Cook equipment. However, I do not possess a working binaural player and don't want to chance damage on a standard turntable, so I cannot audition them to be certain.
Vinyl: VG+ condition; glossy binaural vinyl; in very nice condition with only minor surface sleeve/handling marks; nothing feel-able; no deep scratches. It should play cleanly on the proper binaural equipment, but I do not own a working Cook Binaural Stereo with which to audition it.
Cover: VG colorful, sturdy Jacket; edge-wear; rub-wear; yellowing of back cover; features original record store sticker on back (see photos).
+ Original Plastic Bag Inner Sleeve.
Also comes with a new poly-vinyl dust cover & new white paper sleeve.
FREE USPS PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING IN THE U.S.

SHIPPING NOTE: I do not profit from shipping charges! I provide new poly-vinyl dust covers & inner sleeves for every item, and pack in strong cruciform mailers (or a waterproof padded bubble-lined envelope for 7-inches) with both cardboard & bubble wrap protective inserts. This costs me close to an additional $2 for each item. I also purchase tracking for every location where the USPS offers it.
