This documentary lifts the lid off the recording industry. Well alright, maybe it doesn't lift the lid, but Steve Newton does open a few cover plates and show what's inside.

    Really? Mine makes a nasty clicking sound on the track if you try to punch in a correction while it's in play mode. None of my other decks have that problem.

  • Those relay systems facilitated 'drop-in' recording so that any musical fluffs could be repaired without having to record a whole track, or part, again. It could be remote controlled from the mixing console, very advanced for 1969 when this particular machine was built. Fascinating, thanks for posting it!
