http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221222486810 "Here we have a beta tape containing the master audio for KLF The White Room for cassette." I found this bit weird as it is Betamax video tape. I don't think anyone would send master audio tapes as a video..or..? anttil.

Strange-especially as we know they were using Dat machines already which they spoke about regarding chill out. Also that album is ssl solid state logic... Digital.

Well, at least you can maybe count intended tracks for A/B-sides from those times :) -- anttil _______________________________________________ KLF mailing list KLF(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/klf Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com

Maybe used for the tape master ... When i did work experience, duplicating tapes, a tape was run from one end to the other with both sides copied at once. One being recorded backwards. Maybe for some strange reason it is run from a tape master so as not to go beyond the analogue boundaries which tapes have due to the natural compression. ?

It's not as far fetched as you'd imagine. I remember the HD-DVD vs Blu-ray wars were effectively over when the major P0rn studios said they would be exclusively using Blu-ray. I risked a Google search on "Porn blu ray wars" and several (SFW) articles came up confirming this. Never underestimate the power of the worlds oldest profession ... "In the consumer market, however, VHS won out - the story I've always understood (which could be complete rubbish!) is that porn rentals chose VHS over betamax, thus people bought VHS players to play porn! :-p As I say, probably complete and utter tosh and something that QI (UK TV programme) would rubbish in a few seconds! :-p"
