Why 3 A-7 playback monitor

I'll bet she didn't sing;

"Here comes the bride,
Big, fat, and wide"

I forgot the songs. I had to sync her voice on tape with the organist with an A-8 in the organ
balcony. The organist had to use a small ear piece
for the beep.People thought she was in the back and the groom was getting married with someone else.@#$%^&*()&&&*

According to EMI and quoted by George Martin. In 1963 only 5% of the population had stereo.

His first two Beatle Album were released in mono.
But to satisfy the 5% A GEEZER at EMI mixed his recordings in stereo and released them anyway.
That's why you hear the instruments on one side and the vocals on the other. I kind of like it.

I just like the distinction made of:

1 - Drums
2 - Musical Instruments

and

3 - Vocals

Lest we should ever take one for the other...

PS 1958 was the year stereo became established, any wide-release recording from late that year or later was released in stereo (as well as mono). Some European record labels were making stereo LP's as early as 1954 I believe. It was common to use hard panning to accentuate the newfangled stereo effect, there is no reason that something recorded that way could not be remixed with different panning - I don't think that has much to do with mono/stereo.

Q about Les Paul, I understood his interest in multi-tracking to be overdubs rather than stereo, am I wrong about this?

My Dad's old audio magazines were sporting advertisements selling stereo systems in 1957...

My fault Dave, I used the word 'stereo' where I should have used 'multitracking'. Edited accordingly.
