Project 3 Quadraphonic Test Setup LP 1973 Enoch Light

 This is a stereo test record Quadraphonic 4 Channel Test Record released by Project 3 Records in 1973. (PR 401 SQ Quadraphonic Stereo) Original white label with black print. Cover states: To Set Up/Calibrate/Check Out Your Quadraphonic System

Produced by Enoch Light and Jeff Hest.

Enoch Light was the master of lounge/space age pop recordings and almost single handedly created the audiophile fad during the late 1950's and 1960's. By using the most technically advanced recording equipment available, the albums he produced and released on his Command and Project 3 label became very popular with Hi-Fi buffs as stereo test records...as well as with the general public for their enjoyable music. This LP comes in a gatefold cover with extensive liner notes and full program technical data inside.

From the liner notes:

The production of this recording took place over a period of ten months. The testa on the A side were recorded and checked out in the laboratories  and recording studios of two of the world's leading record operations. The music on the B side represents a most critical selection of arrangements which explore the musical potential of outstanding quadraphonic reproduction. We believe that this recording represents the ultimate production of a test record combining both technical and musical questions. Detailed technical explanations and instructions, plus diagrammatic musical analyses are presented on the inside liner of this album.
