I just wrote a stub for The Capitol Tower after hitting the red link here, but then I realized that there is a pretty big section in this article about the tower. It seems awkward to have the information in two places. Any suggestions on how to rectify this? Spalding 02:14, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)

I guess incorporate most of the info into the Capitol Tower article, and change the material here into a short mention and a link. -- Infrogmation 03:34, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Merge complete. Confirm by viewing the previous info here: Talk:The Capitol Tower -- AllyUnion (talk) 12:11, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Slightly dubious fact about stereo vs mono grooves

Because stereo grooves on LP's took up more space at the time than mono grooves, the stereo versions of the soundtracks were always somewhat shorter than the mono versions.

Anyone have a cite for this? Admittedly I don't own any 1950s records in both mono and stereo versions to do a comparison, but this doesn't ring true for me. I thought that, if anything, the mono required more space, as the mono records were often cut with wider grooves (1.0 mil, as opposed to 0.7 mil for stereo). 217.155.20.163 13:40, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
