: As the band are preparing for the recording
: session this weekend, I'll jump in on this
: question. In the late 50s and early 60s
: there were some 45 rpm singles released in
: stereo, but there were compatibility issues
: and low demand. Mono was the standard.
: With the advent of FM stereo radio, demand
: picked up as FM stations wanted stereo
: versions of hit singles (which may be
: different from the lp version). In 1967
: some stereo singles appeared but it was
: really 1968 that stereo singles took off.
: Keep in mind that "Incense" was
: intended to be a single only and a B side at
: that. Mark has told me that the band wanted
: to record it in stereo, but it was their
: producer, Frank Slay, who vetoed it. He was
: an experienced producer but held the
: "conventional wisdom" that
: "nobody does 45s in stereo". The
: pivot point of the change to stereo happened
: right after that with the introduction of a
: new stereo mastering lathe in 1968. The
: first labels to jump in with both feet were
: Buddah and Electra, and Atlantic joined in
: April 1968. Uni was not the most forward
: thinking label, but in the case of the I&P
: 45, there was no stereo master source.

: You mentioned before something about UNI/MCA
: not allowing stereo format for singles.Were
: you given any official reasoning for this
: standard.It seems so backwards.Of all the
: tunes on album,you would think the record
: company would want what they see as a single
: presented in full aural scope.........
