I thought this might be a fun ride and at the same time somewhat educational.
Those are mono's, I think the OP is looking for the examples of your oldest 2 channel vinyl.
Stan Kenton – Kenton In Stereo. lol... kinda obvious.
Some off the songs were recorded on February 11-12, 1956, but doesn’t say when the album was released. I have a bunch more from that time period that I need to check out.

Around 1952, Emory Cook devised a wacky 2-tonearm contraption called "binaural," which had some obvious problems and limitations:
They also sold receivers with two independent tuners for AM and FM to listen to those stereo broadcasts. The AM side was designed with improved frequency response (up to at least 10 kHz) so it would be a better match for the FM side.I have a hifi buying guide from the same year that mentions that some big city radio stations were experimenting with stereo broadcasts, with one channel on FM and the other channel on AM, requiring two radios for stereo listening! The belief at that time was, as long as the FM receiver was "hifi" (= audiophile-quality, c.1956), it was OK for the other channel to be in lofi AM on tabletop radio.
Is the 317X "Miracle Surface" still doing its anti-static magic after 55+ years?My copy of LSC 1806, which I believe was recorded in 1954 (with two Neumann M-50 mics)...
