Another Intro to Stereo LPs (1958) Plus a Chance to Win a New Turntable and Vinyl

Stereo was a brand new thing in 1958 so people need some education on how to get the best from their new records and their new gear.  Columbia released this album to help people calibrate things.  Quaint now, innit?

If you’re been thinking about getting back into vinyl but don’t know where to start, I’m giving away a new turntable and some 180 gram releases this coming Friday.

I’ve struck an arrangement with Bay Bloor Radio in Toronto and Universal Music Canada to give away:

(1) A Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable with an Ortofon cartridge.  That’s the grand prize.

(2) A selection of 180gram vinyl from Universal Music Canada. There will be a series of winners for that.

All you have to do to be eligible to win is sign up for my daily newsletter between now and the end of the month.  On March 1st, I’ll select the winners who will be notified by email.  (If you already subscribe to the newsletter, you’re already in the draw.)

To remind you and everyone else, I’ll have a post about turntables and vinyl every day from now until March 1.

All you need to give up for the newsletter is your name and email address.  For that, you’ll be in the draw and you’ll get 10 cool music news stories in your inbox by 10am ET every day.  No spam.  Ever. The only catch is that you must be a resident of Canada.
