RCA EC-52
2-Track Monaural
7 1/2 ips; 7-inch reel; includes notes insert
Please note: for proper balances on playback, all 2-track tapes must be played on a 2-track machine. Playback on a 4-track machine will not give even weight to the channels and may not be satisfactory.
Recorded in Carnegie Hall, New York
March 31 & April 1, 1952
The first reference I have found to this 2-track tape comes in the July 1957 RCA Tape Catalog. This recording was made in mono only - there was never any stereo issue in any format. The 1958 RCA Tape Catalog was the last one to include mono tapes at all, so this was a very short-lived issue.
Scarce tape - only the third copy I've ever seen!
The tape is in excellent condition; the box shows only very slight shelf wear.
