That’s pretty neat. There are a lot of stories with many bands losing tapes, accidentally erasing tapes and finding things discarded in dumpsters. I guess that doesn’t happen anymore since most recording is now digital an goes to hard drives.

Now they lose it when the producer erases it, because it’s not woke.

The PBS member station I worked at in a former life cleared the tape vault that was one huge room, a respectable medium barn I guess.

There was a period of two weeks where large portable dumpsters were being filled regularly.

All kinds of analog formats.

I snagged a quad tape just to have it.

Tons of vinyl records were tossed as well.
