Stereo is everywhere. The whole culture and industry of music and sound became organized around the principle of stereophony during the twentieth century. But nothing about this-not the invention or acceptance or ubiquity of stereo-was inevitable. Nor did the aesthetic conventions, technological objects, and listening practices required to make sense of stereo emerge fully formed, out of the blue. This groundbreaking book uncovers the vast amount of work that has been required to make stereo seem natural, and which has been necessary to maintain stereo's place as a dominant mode of sound reproduction for over half a century. The essays contained within this book are thematically grouped under (Audio) Positions, Listening Cultures, and Multichannel Sound and Screen Media; the cumulative effect is to advance research in music, sound, and media studies and to build new bridges between the fields. With contributions from leading scholars across several disciplines, Living Stereo re-tells the history of twentieth-century aural and musical culture through the lens of stereophonic sound.

Through much of the history of recorded music, the Victor Company, later bought by the Radio Corporation of America and renamed RCA Victor, had on its roster of orchestras and musicians many of the world's most renowned artists. In late 1953 RCA started doing experimental recordings in stereophonic sound. In early 1954, these experiments intensified with most orchestral recordings being recorded in both mono, for early release, and in stereo to refine the stereo recording techniques and perhaps for eventual stereo release. Some early experiments were flawed, but many of them eventually were acclaimed as supreme examples of the art of recording music. In 1958, with the advent of stereo records, "Living Stereo" was born. With decades of recording experience and some of the world's finest artists on its roster, RCA became the leader in recorded stereo sound, though they had some vigorous competition from Mercury Records' Living Presence Stereo records and British Decca.A few years ago I published a CD-Rom of databases, and in 2016, I used those databases as the basis for a book, Mercury Living Presence LPs and CDs, a comprehensive reference to Mercury Living Presence recordings. RCA Victor Living Stereo LPs and CDs is a similar reference for the RCA Living Stereo. In addition to background, historical, and explanatory material, there are three main lists in the book :A list of all LPs for which I have been able to find evidence that they actually existed from LM/LSC 1806, Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's historic March, 1954 stereo recording of Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra up to the highest numbers in that series recorded in the December, 1970 issue of the Schwann Catalog. Also included are multi-record sets issued at the same time, and a few other LPs. These are arranged in numerical order; special recordings such as the LD/LDS Soria Series recordings are included in their proper numerical place. For most stereo instrumental and orchestral recordings and many mono recordings, complete contents of the albums are listed. The listings of contents for vocal recordings are more limited, often just the composer and title of the composition. The names of soloists, conductors and orchestras are included as are recording dates wherever possible. Schwann Catalog New Listings release dates are included for most stereo era releases and some earlier ones. Interest in Living Stereo recordings has been at a high point in recent years because of the series of Living Stereo CD and SACD releases and more recently the large box sets of "Living Stereo" recordings and box sets of individual artists like Rubinstein, Heifetz, Reiner with the Chicago Symphony, Munch with the Boston Symphony, and many others. In the lists, I have identified which LPs have been reissued on SACD or CD including the original Living Stereo CD and SACD releases, plus those that have been released in the 3 Living Stereo box sets. Using boldface artists names, I have also indicated artist collections where CD versions are available for over a dozen other individual artist box sets. However, earlier CD releases in the 1980s prior to the beginning of Living Stereo CD releases are not noted, as those releases are generally not reflective of the quality on the original master tapes.A second list is similar to the complete listing but eliminates numbers for records that very likely do not exist and virtually all recordings that were not made in stereo. It does, however, include all known and suspected recordings that were made in stereo even if they were only released in mono at the time of initial release. The third list is of the same stereo recordings arranged in alphabetical order by composer and title. So if you know the name of the composer and title of the composition, you can find it easily, if there was a stereo recording made and if the recording was released on RCA.I hope you find the book interesting and useful.

This book is primarily concerned with the classical music catalog of Mercury Living Presence recordings recorded and published by the Mercury Record Corporation. Mercury Records made some of the finest and most natural sounding audio recordings ever made, mostly of excellent and committed performances of classical music. But this is not a history of Mercury records or even of the Living Presence series of recordings. My main focus was to create a list of all the Mercury Living Presence classical records. I am mostly interested in the stereo recordings, but there are also many earlier mono recordings of great interest, too, so I have included those also. Specifically, what is included is information on the SR 90000 series of stereo recordings and the MG 50000 series of mono recordings, but there is also a listing of the Wing classical reissue series. ***** Decades ago, when I began collecting Mercury records, and years later when I started collecting the CDs, I was looking for a complete list of all the Mercury Living Presence records and later the CDs. Though I found some information that was helpful, to get what I wanted, I had to make the list myself. I started with lists of records on the record sleeves of the albums, got some information from The Absolute Sound! magazine, and in the internet age, found useful information on several internet sites, but mostly to get the list I wanted, I had to dig up the information and build it myself. Having completed the list, it occurred to me that other collectors might find it helpful, too. So I put together a group of databases and spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Works database format files and issued the databases I had created on a CD-rom disc in early 2013. By that time I had all the original series of CDs mastered by Wilma Cozart Fine, and many of the records that had been reissued on CD, and virtually all of the stereo records not issued on CD, plus most of the mono records in which I had a strong interest. Now it is available as a book. Among other things it includes the following lists: Complete Mercury Living Presence CDs, including every CD, with its track information, identifying Composer, title, soloist, conductor, orchestra, CD #, LP where originally published, and recording date. Complete Mercury Living Presence LPs including every LP with its track information identifying Composer, title, soloist, conductor, orchestra, LP #, CD on which it was reissued if any, and recording date. Different versions of the files are arranged by: Composer and Title, Recording Date, Record number, and CD number. There are also a listings of LPs and LP tracks that have not been reissued in the Mercury Living Presence CD series. Included are listings of all original Mercury Living Presence records in the SR 90000 and MG 50000 series, all CDs originally mastered by Wilma Cozart Fine, all SACDs, and the more recent reissues and new issues in the large 50+ CD box sets and the 10-CD box sets of Marcel Dupré and Janos Starker. There are also a few chapters of background information, little known facts, and other topics of interest. Hopefully readers will find it interesting and useful.
