>From Steven C. Barr: "... Thus, there was very little
interest in "high fidelity" reproduction...and AM (they didn't yet
have FM radio in cars...!) served the purpose quite well.

I think AM radio in the '50s and '60s was much higher quality than most
people realize, very possibly better and certainly less distorted than
today's shredded FM and CDs. FM could be superb but usually wasn't. While I
was briefly in college in western Michigan during the mid '60s I could pick
up Chicago's WFMT which was by far the best broadcast audio quality I've
ever heard but that station was very much the exception.
