Description:

Phase 4 Stereo was a recording process created by the U.K. Decca Records label in 1961. The process was used on U.K. Decca recordings. Approximately two hundred albums were released with the process, including popular music, "gimmick" records engineered to make the sound travel from speaker to speaker, records featuring percussion effects, and historical sound effect records. In 1964, a light classical Phase 4 "Concert Series" was produced and this Readers Digest 8 LP Box set features a variety of these recordings. Phase 4 Stereo recordings were created with an innovative 10-channel, and later 20-channel, "recording console" (actually a mixing console.) The concept of Phase 4 Stereo has no connection with Quadraphonic sound or "four channel stereo." But because there often are sounds in the extreme right or extreme left channels, the records may also give pleasing results when played on Hafler circuit systems or other simulated four channel systems. 8 x 12” Vinyl LP Compilation Box Set is in superb condition with all LP’s and inner sleeves excellent and outer box and draw tray same – neat set!
