-
- This
special abridged edition of "Saturday Night With Mr. C." may actually have
been released prior to the vinyl album
- in early 1958. This tape is either an
edited version of the intended release, from which a number of tracks are
missing,
- or the full release may have been expanded following. The tape
version does include a stereo version of
- "Come Rain or Come
Shine" which was later deleted from stereo versions of the vinyl
release apparently due to space
- limitations. The tape is described as
being 7½ inches per second and requiring "In-Line" Heads on the
tape reproducing
- equipment ( later described as half-track ). The tape's
description as being "Stereo-Orthophonic" instead of
"Living Stereo"
- is further evidence that this tape pre-dates the
vinyl release. Tape recording time is approximately 25:23.
-
- Perry’s first full stereo recordings were made
between
February 12th and March 12th, 1958
- Recorded at RCA
Victor's Studio 2, 155 East 24th Street, New York City
- The
original RCA Victor release of this set was LOP/LSO-1004
which was later changed to LPM/LSP-1971.
-
- An RCA Victor
- "Stereo-Orthophonic" Tape
Recording
-
- "Stereo-Orthophonic"
pre-recorded tape establishes a new standard of quality
- in the art of recording and
reproducing sound. It offers an entirely new
- experience in sound which gives the
listener a spatial, three-dimensional
- effect, resulting in a greater faithfulness
to "live"
- conditions than has been known
before.
-
- This magnetic tape record is a dual
track, stereophonic recording and must be
- reproduced on an in-line head, two
channel, stereophonic reproducer,
- operating at 7½ inches per
second.
-
- Equalization has been incorporated
into the recording to provide a flat
- response when reproduced using
equipment adjusted to conform to the
- "NARTB Magnetic Tape Standard
Reproducing Characteristic."
-
- In stereophonic reproduction, room
size will govern the placement of speakers
- and, in general, your loud speakers
should be placed in opposite corners at
- one end of the room and with the axes
of the speakers intersecting at a
- point about three-quarters of the room
length.
-
- The life of this tape is virtually
unlimited if subject to
- proper care and storage.
-
- Proper Care of This Recorded
Tape:
-
- In the event that your equipment has a
recording facility, great care should
- be taken to prevent unintentional
erasure.
-
- Under no circumstances should this
tape be brought into
- contact with a magnet.
-
- Return tape to container after use and
store in a cool, clean place.
-
- Be sure that playing equipment is in
good condition, that tape tension and
- speed are correct, that reproducing
head and driving
- mechanism is clean at all times.
-
- In the unlikely event of accidental
breakage, this tape may be easily repaired.
- Your tape dealer will be able to
advise you on this.
