As much as I love Enoch Light ,and have grown up with him since the late 50's,He is not the first to use 35mm for recordings.Everest and the Mercury labels was using 35mm since the late 50's to early 60's.It became too expensive to do with every recording,hence back to analog tape
@CadillacL Yes, 35 MM optical sound film had a much better specs than the audio recording tape that was typically used at the time, hence the higher fidelity of Enoch Light's albums. If everyone had takes as much care with the recording and mastering process as Light did, the Compact Disc may have gotten a longer run for its money from LP records. The quality of vinyl, in general, actually declined after the mid-60's. The business almost collapsed in the 70's due to poor quality product.
@doncirelli I've read on here that Enoch used 35mm. Never thought about it giving a higher fidelity/sound. I have to agree that, sometimes, I don't think cd's give music the highest quality.
Actually, the quality of Enoch Light's albums was superb in the 60's. Superior to most other recordings on the market at that time, in fact. Light pioneered the use of 35 millimeter film, which allowed for much higher fidelity. I have a few Light albums and a very revealing stereo system. His albums typically sound better than most other records from the same time period, and even later. Even better than compact disc.
@doncirelli I was born in '71 but, I to wish they'd been that way. I heard that in the 60's the quality was really bad. That is a shame too w/all the grea music from then. I

Thanks for this "Matilda" . I knew this record by 1965 (I was 15) but the friend who owns it past away many years ago and never heard it again.
I would appreciate if you mail me a copy of the image cover,

Correction - Enoch Light used 35 millimeter magnetic film, not optical film.
