Description
“Stereo Action is a new concept of music in motion; a new dimension in recorded sound. Stereo Action brings you unmatched fidelity through the full sound spectrum, plus the exciting new illusion of sound in motion. Soloists and entire sections of the orchestra appear to move thrillingly back and forth across the room. Stereo Action is musical movement so real, your eyes will follow the sound.”
“The Sound Your Eyes Can Follow” was the perfect slogan for the early 1960’s RCA Victor campaign to promote hifi stereo and to sell more stereo units with giant speakers for the true stereo dynamics in your mid-century living room. A series of great albums was produced for demonstration goals and some dealers even gave them away when customers bought a hifi-set with the new two speaker stereo system. The music was crystal clear in production and orchestral sound and in most cases had special sound effects added to the arrangements of original compositions by Juan Garcia Esquivel, Ray Martin and Dick Schory and standard repertoire as well. The stereo spectrum still is really fantastic to hear and had an absolute separation of channels. One part of the orchestra was in Studio 1 and the others were recorded at the same time in Studio 2. Listening was s a stunning audio sensation with sounds going from the right to the left channel and back. Amazing!
For the design RCA gathered together some of the best graphic artists available. A corporate identity was chosen with beautiful colored high quality die-cut sleeves, each with a different cutting and within a glossy printed inner sleeve with liner notes. The photographs were made by David B. Hecht, Scotty Sapiro, Marie Jones and others, but strangely enough the name of the graphic designer on all albums is missing. The sleeves had that Eames Era modern feel and were very stylish. Look at the sleeve of Bernie Green’s “Futura” album. An iconic sleeve from a great period in American graphic design. The sleeves were very heavy, had perfectly chosen colors and had exceptional good printing quality.
A thoughtful gift for yourself or another special person.
