In Reply to: RE: I see no reason why a safety master need be made at the same time as the original. posted by mcgjohn@yahoo.com on August 6, 2014 at 09:44:11:
"Dave, individual production masters of original studio label productions were made for most countries around the world. During the 1980s many record companies, particularly in Eastern Europe, disposed of their distribution masters after their being digital archived and these analog masters have ended up in private collections in North America and Europe. Most were on tape stock that was not holding up well with age, so a number of production copies were made from them."
As Megjohn notes above -- see his last paragraph -- these copies are likely far better sounding than "any other format available ...." Which is why they keep getting snatched up at higher bids than I have been able to match to date :-)
But I'm going to keep trying.
It's worth noting that the tape stock used for many of the ones being sold by reel-lady (Emtec 468) is REALLY good tape and not cheap.
