I remember buying one of the very first stereo records. It was the 'Dukes of Dixieland' playing dixieland classics. You can still
buy it as a cd on Amazon.
My father had induced me to build a set of stereo amps and he built stereo speaker cabinets for our house. It was one of the first stereo sound systems I'd ever seen. In those days nothing was stereo. I played the record a lot looking for the difference between it and regular LPs which were not stereo. There was another vinyl record that had a train rushing from left to right, designed to show how stereo sound captured location.
Now of course all sound is multichannel and concert halls are carefully designed by computers, with massive digital sound systems to make each location have better listening. How things change.

Today is National Vinyl Record Day. Do you remember the first vinyl record that you bought? (We'll expand the question to cassette tapes, CD's, etc...) This will show my age, but mine was KISS Alive II and I still have it. I don't have anything to play it on, but I still have the album.
