Number - Release Date - Artist - Songs
Decca and distributed label Brunswick released a large number of stereo singles, Decca starting in March, 1969, and Brunswick starting in April. Generally, these were not marked "STEREO," but could be identified by the stereo master numbers printed on the label or dead wax. Before March, 1970, both labels used a "7" before the record number to indicate stereo, but in early 1970 this was dropped, and the stereo could only be identified by the stereo master number.
Promotional copies were generally marked "STEREO" if appropriate.
Decca began issuing stereo singles in March, 1969. This began with a stereo promo of "Emily" by Crib & Ben [Decca 734600], for which the commercial single was mono. But on March 18, 1969, they released a commercial single by Ernest Tubb [Decca 732532] in stereo, then four days later, a stereo single of "Pinball Wizard" by the Who [Decca 732456]. From that point, most singles (promo and commercial) were stereo. Starting with (7)32465, the missing numbers below are all mono singles or were apparently unissued.
Promo copies were marked "STEREO," but commercial copies were not. The tell-tale indication of a stereo single (as with all Decca records, 45s or LPs) was a "7" as the start of the record number, and a "7-" at the start of the master number. In early 1970, Decca discontinued the "7" before the record number, but still used the "7" before the master number.
Decca singles from this period (top left) were black with a broad white and multicolored band across the middle. Canadian singles (lower left) were similar, but were marked "STEREO" in silver print over the rainbow portion of the band at the right side of the label.

Note: In February-March, 1970, Decca deleted the "7" before the record number indicating stereo. From this point, only the "7-" in front of the master number indicates stereo on the label. Some of the above singles released 2/70 or later were also issued without the "7" in the catalog number, either as a reissue or through differences in pressing plants.

Decca Notes:
1. Some copies of this single show the A-side as "You Don't Need Me For Anything Anymore".
2. Some copies of this single (and the promo) were released as Decca 32506, presumably in mono.
3. Possibly issued as a promo only.
4. A promo of this single is mono, but the commercial copy is stereo.
5. Both mono and stereo promos exist, but the commercial single is stereo.
6. The promo of 32653 and 32704 are mono, but we have not seen a commercial copy.
7. Both mono and stereo promos exist.
8. Ormandy was a Lansing, Michigan-based rock band. Band member Tom Cartmell was later in Bob Seger's Bullet Band as "Alto Reed."
9. The remaining releases in this series before 1971, 25756-25762, were mono.
Brunswick, like parent label Decca, did not mark their stereo singles except with a stereo code in the record number and the master number. These codes were a "7" in front of the respective numbers.
Singles up to and including 55407 were released in mono. The first stereo single was Lavern Baker's "I'm The One To Do It," released in April, 1969, on Brunswick 755408. Most of the singles after that were stereo.
During the last half of 1970, Brunswick used a label that was the same design, but rotated 90 degrees so the arrow pointed up instead of to the left. This label had a "STEREO" indication for stereo singles. The labels did not change at any given number, but were gradually introduced and intermixed with the old label design. Of the singles listed here, we have seen the new label on 55436, 55438, 55441 and 55443.

The 4 Corners of the World label (usually referred to as just "4 Corners") was distributed by Kapp. They released singles from April, 1964, to June, 1968. They released just three singles in 1968, and none of them were stereo either in promotional copies or commercial copies.
Kapp put out very few stereo singles during 1968-70.
Kapp started 1968 with the black label with the "red hat" logo (top left). We have not found any commercial singles on this label to be labeled stereo. But some singles have the mono master numbers on the label yet play stereo. There is a report that the Unifics' "Beginning of My End" is pressed in stereo on Kapp K-957, but we have been unable to confirm this. Kapp's master lease of El Chicano's "Viva Tirado" [Kapp K-2085] is mono, but was issued in stereo on the original Gordo 703.
Kapp did issue some stereo promos for the "red hat" label, including Silver Apples' "You And I"/"Confusion" [Kapp KS-3-956], but we have not found a commercial copy of this single. Jack Jones' "Far Away" [Kapp K-964] was issued on a mono/stereo promo, but the commercial 45 was apparently mono. Other releases with stereo promos but mono commercial copies include Roger Williams' "Love Theme From La Strada'" [Kapp K-975], Jack Jones' "Mathilda" [Kapp K-2022], the Unifics' "Toshisumasu" [Kapp K-2026], Shani Wallis' "From Atlanta to Goodbye" [Kapp K-2044]. We have not seen a commercial copy of Dangerfield's "Zig Zag Man" [Kapp KS-2048], but the promo copy is stereo (center left).
Kapp started using the multicolor label (bottom left) in January, 1970, but still used the "red hat" label at some pressing plants as late as August, 1970. There were some actual commercial stereo singles in 1970 on the multicolor label, including the two by Albert Jones listed below.
K-2100 - 8/70 - Albert Jones - It's Going To Be A Lovely Summer/Monkey Boogaloo
K-2112 - 10/70 - Albert Jones - Fifteen Cent Love/You Must Be A Blessing
Kapp Notes:
1. The Unifics' "The Beginning Of My End" [Kapp K-957] is reported to play stereo, at least on some copies, although the label and dead wax show the mono master number (K 11488). Kapp used an "S" at the end of the master numbers to indicate a stereo master (so it would be K 11488 S for stereo, especially in the dead wax).
Congress Records started in 1962 as a subsidiary of Kapp. They released records until mid-1966, when Kapp discontinued the label, although they retained rights to the imprint and catalog. In 1967, Kapp was sold to MCA, who also obtained Congress in the deal. MCA decided in 1969 to resurrect the label, redesigning the label to look more modern.
The revived Congress label operated until mid-1970. In addition to a top-10 hit with the Flying Machine's "Smile a Little Smile For Me" in summer, 1969, Congress also had the distinction of releasing the first two Elton John singles in the US. These included "Lady Samantha" in March, 1970 [Congress C-6017], and "Border Song" [Congress C-6022] the next month. "Border Song" was the final single released on Congress, and the only one released on a stereo promo. There were no commercial stereo singles released.
C-6022 - 4/70 - Elton John - Border Song (S/S)
MTA Records operated between 1966 and 1971. They were distributed by Decca/MCA.
MTA 191 - 11/70 - Walter Raim Concept - Since You've Gone/Endless Possibilities [see note 1]
MTA Notes:
1. Possibly promo only.
Revue was part of Universal City Records (UNI), distributed by MCA. We found no stereo singles, either commercial or promotional, for this label.
Uni (Universal City Records) apparently put out one commercial stereo single during the 1968-70 period. Their foray into stereo was limited to that single and a few promotional singles. Stereo records were labeled "Compatible Stereo" and on the label before 1970 used the stereo master numbers starting with "CS" (e.g. "CS.240" vs. ".240" for mono).
55116 - 3/69 - Hugh Masekela - A Long Ways From Home/Home Boy
Uni promo stereo releases, 1968-70:
55065-S - 5/68 - Neil Diamond - Brooklyn Roads (S/S) [see note 1]
55134 - 6/69 - Giant Crab - Cool It/Intensify My Soul [see note 2]
55243 - 7/70 - Paris - A Change Is Gonna Come (S)/A Change Is Gonna Come (M) [see note 1]
55254 - 9/70 - Society Of Seven - Sad Sweet Clown/Ten Cents In My Pocket [see note 2]
55260 - 10/70 - Barry Allen - Wednesday In Your Garden/If You Look Away [see note 2]
Notes:
1. Commercial copies are mono.
2. May be promo only; we have not seen commercial copies of this.
