Reviewed will be key developments from Bell Labs, EMI/Blumlein, Magnetophone/German radio, Magnecord, Emory Cook and the beginnings of stereo recording by the major record labels. A brief examination of the related "aside" topic of "accidental stereo" recordings from the 78 era will also take place.
