Rack number: RXH 4126 |
|
Extent: on one side of 1 sound
tape reel (polyester, 00:25:07) : analog, 15 ips and 7 1/2 ips,
quarter track and half track, stereo and mono ; 7 in. |
|
Archivist's note: The recording is misidentified on the tape box as
"Joe Albany, #4."
LC engineer's note 1: Track 1 and track 2 are identical except for
speed. Track 1 is 15 ips and track 2 is 7 1/2 ips. They are also
half-track stereo. The performers and song title are unknown and
sound like an advanced experimental demo, not a finished product.
Cuts 3 through 6 are in quarter-track stereo format and are from a
Ted Hawkins LP project dating from the early 1970s but not released
until 1986. The mixes are different to what was issued in 1986. They
are also in mono sound.
LC engineer's note 2: Side 2, while not technically blank, contains
no audio information. It appears the tape was poorly bulk erased
before use, with only Side 1 subsequently recorded. Side 2 contains
nothing but loud hiss and a high frequency whine. |
