Atomic Age logo with the Stereo Action logo. Text reads

Starting in 1961, RCA Victor released a new series titled Stereo Action. It was, for many collectors, the high point when it came to stereophonic demonstration records. Each of these Stereo Action records had a thick cover with a flashy die cut in the front and carried the slogan, “The Sound Your Eyes Can Follow!” This week, we do a deep dive into the series and all the great music that came from it. We’ll hear from Ray Martin, Vic Schoen and His Orchestra, Dick Schory's Percussion and Brass Ensemble, and many more.
