Re: Munch's "Damnation" in stereo - is it or isn't it?

I do not believe that the complete Munch Damnation was ever issued in
stereo on LP or otherwise.  I have never seen a stereo copy in the US.
There was a stereo version on French RCA LP set, but I would bet money
that this was pseudo stereo and not the real thing.  I believe that
only part of the work was recorded in stereo as an experiment.   I'm
sure a lot more is available in stereo than just that 5 minute excerpt
on that BMG/RCA cd.  It would be neat if they would issue the whole
thing with as much stereo as they have mixed and spliced in with the
mono.  Ward Marston did that on an LP of early Stokowski/Philadelphia
Orchestra material from Bell Labs.  He put together a complete Wagner
orchestral piece with the studio/mono recording with the with the
stereo clips.  It was done flawlessly.  It actually started in stereo
went to mono and then back again !
