Well, two separate issues...




I am not aware of any suggestion that HDTT had access to a direct copy of one set of the KOB in-machine session tapes (which are a separate issue in and of themselves).

Unless HDTT shows up and says otherwise, I assume that HDTT started with a commercial RTR tape from the 1960s, please see image above and link below.

It's not really relevant to this discussion, but, while backup tapes are often copies, the big studios with big budgets often in those days ran FOUR tape recorders at the same time:

MONO Prime, and Simultaneous Backup
STEREO Prime, and Simultaneous Backup

That must have kept the Tape Ops on their toes!

As explained in my SP column linked to above, due to the pitch error on Side A, since 1992, all authorized issues have derived from the three-channel simultaneous safety master--so there is no generational loss at that point. Dunno if Sony sends out the Jewel in the Crown three-track backup masters, or, do they send a 3-to-2 mixdown to stereo?

BTW, it's funny to see the RTR tape box duplicate the spelling error in Cannonball's family name (Adderly not Adderley) that is the distinguishing mark of the first 50,000 LPs pressed.

My Spirit Guide just pinged me--she texted

YLN SUK

That's "Get a Life"...

But in KLINGON.
