RE: really?

you were saying that in the 2 recordings you cited the artists did multiple takes -- which was true of herbie's 'the piano'. i now see you were talking about backup tapes being made of the sessions -- not multiple takes.

to make things clear: herbie hancock recorded several takes of each side, each with different interpretations of the songs. there were no re-dos. the lacquer was cut for each take of each side. at the end of the session he made a decision as to which takes to go with. i believe he had 2 or 3 (i think it was 3 but the CD is downstairs and i just had surgery so i'm not 100% ambulatory) to choose from. he picked his favorite for each side then albums were pressed from those lacquers.

sorry for not being clear the first time around. these weren't "re-do's" and, of course, there were no overdubs or edits. also, each side was 1 take
-- he was not free to choose song #2/take #1 and song #3/take #2; he had to choose take 1/song 1,2,3 or take 2/song 1,2,3.
