It was produced by Jam Handy and likely dates to 1958, when RCA Victor introduced stereophonic sound. This was part of a larger trend of record companies adapting LPs for stereo playback. (RCA also released stereophonic sound tape cartridges in the same year.) As this film explains, stereophonic sound is a two-channel sound that separates out different elements of the sound. This technology more closely mimics how humans hear the world around them. The film introduces Bob Bags, the marketing manager at RCA Victor, who presents the new RCA Victor stereo orthophonic High Fidelity victrolas. He explains the concept of living stereo, which uses two separate soundtracks from one record groove to create a fuller, more immersive sound experience. Using animation, the film details the technical aspects of how regular one-track recording differs from the new living stereo grooves and the special stereo pickup developed by RCA. It highlights the benefits of living stereo for the average family, the compatibility of the new victrolas with various record types, and the conversion options for existing customers. The announcement emphasizes the new musical experience available to everyone and concludes with music. 00:00 - 0:23: Introduction 0:23 - 0:29: Introduction of Bob Bags, marketing manager at RCA Victor. 0:29 - 0:47: Bob Bags introduces the new RCA Victor stereo orthophonic High Fidelity victrolas. 0:47 - 1:02: Explanation of the left and right-hand sections of the orchestra. 1:02 - 1:27: Demonstration of the fullness of living stereo. 1:27 - 1:58: Explanation of how regular one-track recording is accomplished. 1:58 - 2:22: Animation that shows comparison of regular record grooves with the new living stereo grooves. 2:22 - 2:58: Explanation of the special stereo pickup developed by RCA. 2:58 - 3:52: Detailed explanation of how the living stereo stylus works. 3:52 - 4:27: Description of the living stereo record groove and how it reproduces sound. 4:27 - 5:00: Benefits of living stereo for the average family. 5:00 - 5:39: Introduction of the new line of RCA Victor 2-in-1 stereo orthophonic victrolas / record players. 5:39 - 6:03: Information on the compatibility of the new victrolas with various record types. 6:03 - 6:49: Details on the conversion options for existing customers. 6:49 - 7:02: Announcement of the new line of RCA Victor 2-in-1 stereo orthophonic High Fidelity victrolas / record players. 7:02 - 7:16: Emphasis on the new musical experience available to everyone. 7:16 - 7:29: Conclusion Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
