The RCA Stereo Action Series was launched in 1970, using instrumental orchestral material (Latin, Brass, Percussion etc.) recorded for the first time in "a revolutionary new concept of stereo" with "absolute separation of channels" for RCA in America. These were then repackaged for the UK using a series of provocative glamour images, some of which are shown here. Clearly aimed at a middle aged male market one suspects!
