It's a shame that they don't make many recordings like those anymore.
The inside of the one lp's gatefold is filled with a bunch of technical information and charts and diagrams outlining the recording process in great detail, including where the players were located in the recording venue for reference in that the expectation is that you should be able to locate them within the soundstage at the locations indicated.
Back in those days (very early 60's), hifi stereo recordings were new and a novelty that was marketed to the masses based on the sound quality in packages like these.
Imagine that?
I was just a young kid at the time but I think that was probably a big part of creating my interest in music and stereos at the time.
THen the novelty of stereo hifi wore off I suppose for most except us audiophile type kooks and the rest is history I suppose.
