The master-tape in not the 16-track-tape. It is the 2-track-tape with the mixdown. Dirk Matten kraftwerk@mailman.xmission.com schrieb am 30.03.02:

I don't know the open reel tape price in 1974, but with a high quality tape (say Maxell XL-1) today, I'd just save about 20 Euros by reducing the speed.

Okay, I wasn't there, too. But around 1973 I jobbed in a recording studio as a trainee, and I remember quite well that this professional tape was not the kind of tape you can buy at Karstadt's. I don't remember the prices for professional 16-track-tape, but according to an interview with Heinz-Gerd Lütticke from the mid-seventies (he was then independent producer and promoter after leaving EMI), the price of a master tape ranged around 500 Deutschmarks - and these tapes didn't run 45 minutes, so you needed five or six of those to make a complete album.
