How To Make A Motor Bike

Volume 3 ... Now in stereo. All Mixed


It took 2 years for RCA Victor, 1974, reverting to the saga of LPs Capissimo and released Volume 3 of the series. The country at that time had already suffered the military coup that led to the overthrow of the government of Dr. Salvador Allende, groceries to be seen again in trade and total power holders gave clear signs of ideological hegemony and appreciates that wanted to impose the daily rhythm of our lives as, radio stations, trying to adapt its programming to the demands of authority, with music as a contradiction to that environment ...

In this scenario
appears Capissimo 3, with a new technique that was probably not fully appreciated by the ordinary consumer of that time record: STEREO SOUND ... In any case I would say that this was the first Capissimo in Stereo, as it apparently was national customs seals of those years a whole LP in mono and stereo version. It was probably the case.








The cover of the album follows the trend of previous artistic, bright colors and abstract forms, like their songs, some in English and some in English, from Italy, Argentina or Spain. This specimen, found of course in any street fair box, bring a paper inner sleeve containing instructions on how to use a CD "Stereo", of which I wanted to share the following extract the meaning for those who still deny us to abandon the supremacy of vinyl:

"This disc should be played with a stereo pickup system that has been called 45/45, because here, the walls of the groove where sounds have been issued by the registered two different sources sound together form an angle of 90 degrees, each angle of incidence of 45 ° to the horizontal plane of the disk. The electrical signals picked up by both sides of the diamond or sapphire player on both sides of the groove of the disc must be amplified through two separate amplifiers and features the same reaction, and reach them through two separate loudspeakers, also similar. Only then can we produce the best results. The interconnections must be arranged so that the speaker on the right of the listener reaches the modulation collected by the tip of the pickup in the groove wall that faces the interior of the disk, and vice versa, the speaker set on your left which captures the diamond (or sapphire) used in the wall of the groove facing the outside of the disk. Furthermore, the tip of the stylus (diamond or sapphire) should be flexible enough to properly accommodate the vertical movement that motivates variable groove depth, which is another key feature of the stereo disc. (...) The record features and the size of groove meet the specifications established in Britain by the agreement of 1928 and revised in 1955 to microgroove phonograph records. It is recommended that the "stylus" player falls on the disk surface, forming with it an angle between 40 and 50 ° and the radius of the tip of the stylus oscillates between 5 and 6 thousandths of an inch. "

Nice ... is not it? We now turn to the issues contained in this Capissimo, warning, yes, they will find a pair of needle drops, it was impossible to avoid direct damage with some grooves, but in any case, are part of the experience "vinyl" and does not affect the total content of this LP years :
