Sound In The Eighth Dimension

This Heart
 
Sound In The Eight Dimension
A New World Of Stereo
Originated and Produced by Loren Becker and Robert Byrne
Command/ABC Records
RS 928 SD
1968

The album title refers to a "new" studio techniques that included 8-channel recording.

From Billboard - March 30, 1968: The result of two years of experimentation (this album) is especially exciting as songs such as "El Gato Montes" (a bull fight) and "South Rampart Street Parade" take on a "live" sound.

This Command/ABC period release was not produced in the typical (Enoch Light/Command) book-fold fashion, in that there are no details about the artists printed on the inside. The space was used to explain the engineering process, which is outstanding, even if the LP plays through like a "test" record.
