    America was classier back then period.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    It was a lot classier for sure, however, they were pushing this new fangled "STEREO" idea that would obviously ruin the state of the art sound that audiophiles enjoy.

    As an adult this is still unacceptable behavior!

    a remarkable collection of vintage radio, audio, broadcast and tape publications at this site, if any of y'all were unaware of it: http://www.americanradiohistory.com/

    For example, check out the catalog insert from The Sound Gallery in DC in this 1974 issue of the DC Metro area Forecast FM magazine: http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Other-Documments/DC-FM-Forecast/FM-Forecast-Nov-1974.pdf
    (the ad section's pages are in reverse order in the PDF!)

    ...and, just a few miscellaneous scans from my own collection of ephemera in honor of this thread (and apropos of nothing):
