i saw this on his flickr page a month or so ago, maybe...thought about
putting it here, but it's still too inconclusive for me to call.
here's an IM convo pantophobia and i had about the subject:
Jennthebenn: It is standard practice to make a copy of a master recording, known as a safety copy, in case the master is lost or damaged.
rantingpatty66: ah ha
rantingpatty66: where is that from
Jennthebenn: wiki
rantingpatty66: interesting
rantingpatty66: i mean it's prudent
Jennthebenn: There is only one original master recording, and that's the recording made at the time of the original recorded performance, but the term "master" is commonly used to describe almost anything used as a source.
rantingpatty66: but i wasn't sure they would do it based on budget concerns
Jennthebenn: so
Jennthebenn: if that is the original master and it was taped over
Jennthebenn: the box is marked incorrectly or
Jennthebenn: they didn't tape over it
Jennthebenn: or
Jennthebenn: there is a safety copy somewhere
Jennthebenn: OR
Jennthebenn: they didn't do a safety copy
rantingpatty66: OR
rantingpatty66: they taped over the safety copy
Jennthebenn: in which case
Jennthebenn: thurston tells a half truth
Jennthebenn: and sister could still be remastered
not one of our finer conversations, really.
