From Billboard - February 2, 1959: Cap's New Stereo Release Fine Bait for Sound Buffs

Capitol Record's latest release of stereo LP's should find a hearty reception from stereophiles. Included in the 16-LP release are stereophonic versions of sets that have in most cases proven big monaural sellers.

Heading the pop releases is "Oklahoma!" In stereo the album is even more charming, and this release should create new interest in the set, which has long been a best-seller. Another strong pop album in the group is "Jackie Gleason Presents Velvet Brass," which lends itself very well to stereo, because of the many contrasting ork effects. "Young Ideas" by Ray Anthony and "The New James" by Harry James achieve dimension in stereo. "Most Happy Hammond" by organist Jackie Davis and "Concerto!" by Freddie Martin complete the pop releases.
