I remember the first time I heard stereophonic sound in the 1950s
("ping-pong stereo", with a real table tennis game!), which used a TV
tuned to the BBC for one channel and a radio tuned to the Third
Programme for the other.

Back in 1970 our quad setup consisted of a radio in each corner of the
room listening to Casey Kasem's Top40.
We applied judicious amounts of herbals to convince ourselves that we
had achieved surround sound.

Hi Michael!

I'm old enough to remember Virgin's SQ release of Tubular Bells which
proclaimed that it was "for people with four ears"! At least they
appreciated the irony  :D

Hopefully their new vinyl will be quadraphonic with a brilliant new
analog MQA encoding.

Hi Wombat!

I really think that my poor Brokklyx has taken enough stick!

Recalling the old definition of expert to be ex as in "has been" & spurt
as in "a drip of water", what about iPea? ;)

Shock! Horror!

Sony ceased vinyl production in 1989, so this is unexpected.

I am anticipating an apoplectic reaction to this revelation... ;)
