non-classical Living Stereo titles

The Living Stereo title was applied to many of RCA Victor's early stereo LPs, despite the fact that the recording techniques and venues used for the non-classical sessions varied. While one might rightly consider the classical titles the true Living Stereo, a great many non-classical Living Stereo titles did feature superb sound quality and would work well reissued in a similar approach as the current Sony/BMG Living Stereo SACD series.

There were literally a couple hundred titles the first year of the stereo LP (1958). They appear to have used the phrase for about 5 years, from 1958 into 1963. In my limited and subjective opinion, the sound quality of RCA's releases remained similar into 1965. The following is a very partial, non-selective listing of non-classical Living Stereo titles that I'm aware of. Additions and corrections welcome.
