Most of her tapes are on stock that has been out of production for some time, so the notion that she is making copies seems to me unlikely. (The one I have is on BASF LGR50, which was last produced in 1998.)
I'm glad she's doing it. It would be a shame to have these recordings, some of which sound terrific, locked up somewhere or thrown out. If you look through my past posts, you'll know I am a huge advocate of paying artists for their work - I often turn down offers of CDs from artists who come in the studio where I assist, and I go out and buy them. But... in this case I think having these recordings out is worth it, especially given the *extremely* low volume involved. There are precious few people with 15 ips half-track decks, and very few of those people shell out the serious money for these tapes.
Sadly, I am no longer one of them. My Otari is on its way to a new home. I kept my tapelady Egmont (Abbaddo, Berlin, 1981 - never released as far as I can tell) and some day I'll have another machine; at least that's the plan.
