When a bit yunger I worked in the medium.. Tapes .. even Direct masters wer3e V fragile things indeed. Best quality Tapes on the best of equipment had to be reverse wound even for weeklong storage.. Remember "print through" it was a Real problem.. And Magnetic tapes deteriorate just sitting there.. all by them selves.. after their 4 th Birthday these were Junk. As a direct reminder.. Got any old floppy discs Well likely they are now corupted beyond use.
Nostalgia is 90% selective memory.
