The Day The Music Burned
Hey guys,
Just been sent a link to an article in the online New York Times, so I thought I`d share it.. from June 2019 but in regards to the 2008 Universal studios fire..kinda revealing how some of the labels artists were only just now realising that their masters disappeared around the time of the infamous 2008 fire.
Then I got to thinking how many people who are newly into multis and new to the scene, might actually know about this ?!?
So here`s a mini history lesson/remider for us all, and tbh, its been little things like this thats been a good chunk of the inspiration behind getting the site up. These old analogue things (the multitrack reels) are quite combustable and perishable over time.. and this is exactly why we need some [ALL] of the Majors to properly step up and sort out at least making the masters as digital as possible before a fire or something else happens again elsewhere.. surely. Then, put em online for folk to buy. Good excuse as any?
just my 2 cents..
anyway check the NYT post here.. its a bit long and you may need tissues.
