The next question is: how do other recording companies store their masters?<br>

Dear Listmates,<br>
The link below has just been posted on a local jazz Facebook site.<br>
Unbelievable, but certainly not without precedent.<br>
No mention is made of the also precious studio log books and recording<br>
files.<br>
Read and weep.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Bill<br>
