How stereo changed our lives.

@inna- for mass consumption, the cassette, which really came into its own what- in the '70s? (I fondly remember the Advent with Dolby).  8 track in cars for a spell, but pretty kludgey. Not sure how much market there was for reel to reel in the home, even when pre-recorded material was marketed. I think the record- both LP and 45 were far more dominant in the average home. 

Yes, cassette, still the tape.

Bill, you are probably right about LPs and 45s, I don’t know. Still, I would guess quite a number of people had reel-to-reel decks.

The greater availability of music has greatly devalued it. It's a sad situation.

Great video. Memory lane. 

The greater availability of music has opened us to whole new worlds of music and enjoyment and devaluing physical disks. 

That was cool, thanks. If I’m not mistaken music was mixed for our stereo needs and another version was mixed specifically for AM radio.
