He mentioned equipment made in the 50s AND 60s. It's reasonable to think that the full range of a typical LP was used by then.

The more important question is whether they used ANY of the real world music that people commonly listen to when looking inside people’s brains. If they didn’t, the study has no relevance to what people actually listen to with respect to music, REGARDLESS of format. What the study really needed...
