Description
AFSD 5843 'Railroad Sounds - Steam and Diesel' a study in Stereophonic High Fidelity; Gatefold 33 RPM 12" Vinyl Record
Steam engines ... huge black monsters shuddering under loads of coal and compressed steam . . . lumbering masses of iron and steel that blast the air as they spit black smoke to the heavens . . . tons of metal shaking the earth as wheels churn over gleaming tracks, bearing witness to man's genius for harnessing power . . . immense drive shafts that grind in rhythmic strokes as the "iron horse" plows along the rails . . . wailing whistles that echo through silent countryside as people sleep in their beds. . . .
Diesel engines . . . oil-driven behemoths that pack the energy of a thousand whales . . . leviathans of the rails whose purring belies their capacity to haul a hundred loaded freight cars . . . iron bulls that can push railroad cars around the tracks like balloons in the wind . . . giants whose deep-throated horns rend the air as the train rumbles past crossings . . . goliaths that make the ground tremble as they churn around curves. . . .
This Audio Fidelity Record, AFSD 5843. was the world's first Stereophonic High Fidelity Record (Stereodisc*) in November, 1957.
