1952 Original Press Binaural-Stereo 33rpm LP Deep Groove Black/Yellow "Binaural" Labels COOK RECORDS 1041-BN

NOTE: Cook Records are a highly prized label by Collectors because in 1952 they were the first company to produce commercial stereo records, which Emory Cook called "Binaural". At least 60 "Binaural" recordings were known to have been released. Binaural stereo sound was achieved by putting the output from two separate microphones on two independent monaural tracks on the same side of a 12" record. One stylus played the outside track while the other stylus played the inner track simultaneously; the grooves of the first channel formed a single "band" that was concentric with and surrounded a second band that started about halfway into the record and which contained the grooves of the second stereo channel (see 5th photo for channel separation). The common early stereo records that could play each wall of a single groove as a separate track, known as V-groove stereo LPs, as well as the cartridge that was a standard part of their use, were not released until 1957. Therefore, Cook beat his competitors to issuing stereo LPs by 5 years. While there are many vinyl enthusiasts that collect Cook's Binaural LPs, very few ever get to play them because you need a working Cook Laboratories Binaural Stereo to do so. Often these records are damaged from confused collectors attempting to play the LP on a Hi-Fi with cartridge or on certain types of modern stereo players. Thankfully, this LP--as well as several more Binaural LPs that I'll be listing in the near future--are still in very fine, clean condition and should play nicely on the correct Cook equipment. However, I do not possess a working binaural player, so I cannot audition them to be certain.  

Vinyl: VG+ condition; glossy, clean binaural vinyl; in very nice condition with only a few minor surface marks; nothing feel-able; no scratches. It should play cleanly on the proper binaural equipment, but I do not own a working Cook Binaural Stereo with which to audition it. (Side 1 label is excellent condition, side 2 label is also very clean but has a reduced-ink area likely from original printing - see photos)      

Cover: VG sturdy cardboard jacket; edge-wear; surface rub; yellowing of back cover; half-inch split on seam near opening (see photos of jacket).

+ Original Plastic Bag Inner Sleeve. 

Also comes with a new poly-vinyl dust cover.

SHIPPING NOTE: I do not profit from shipping charges! I provide new poly-vinyl dust covers & inner sleeves for every item, and pack in strong cruciform mailers (or a waterproof padded bubble-lined envelope for 7-inches) with both cardboard & bubble wrap protective inserts. This costs me close to an additional $2 for each item. I also purchase tracking for every location where the USPS offers it.
