Are you trying to say that LP's did not offer "Stereo"?
Hmmm - All my 500+ LP's are "stereo"...
And you can't really say they're dead, as you can still buy new LP's with new music (at least you still can here in Cologne).
Some independent artists publish their music
exclusively on venyl LP's!

Yes, if the music you recorded came from an old, crackly venyl record...

No.
Definitely wrong.
I still have an dual track tapedeck (Uher 22 HiFi spezial)from the early sixties down in the cellar and guess what?
It's stereo.

Oh boy - what kind of tape recording maschine did you have back then?
(Or should I ask what happened to your memory?)
;-)
B.T.W.:
Most of the music played by radio stations back in these days came eigther from magnetic tapes or from venyl disks...
So why do you insist in the broadcasted radio sound being superior to the sound quality of the source (be it magnetic tapes or venyl disks)?
That's not quite clear to me - you should explain that!

:-?
For what else do you think have they been used in the earlier days then, if not for recording?

Well - I recently bought 3 stereo VCR's - the last one in the week before christmas.
And I will go for a brandnew cassette tape deck next week.
I do so because here in Europe (Germany) private copies are legally allowed as long as they are
analogue and as long you did not circumvent a copy protection mechanism.
I hope all individuals capable of thinking anywhere in the world, where similar law is valid, follow my example for their own sake...
