It wasn't unknown for the odd transcription of a disc if there were issues with the master tape, like it wasn't around any longer!..
I think there was some adverse compression on that track that did bring up the noise level! Still a long time ago now:)
You'd loved the line up of such as a Studer 24 track around an hour per channel IIRC!!
Those machines were designed and built to do the best job possible. Not the best job possible with a dictaphone tape.
As it happens, the tracks were not only available on master tape in London (I think there had been a fire in the archive of EMI SA), but any CD which included them (and there were plenty) would have provided an identical master for EMI SA to use.

Please can you arrange a video release when your bollocks and vested interest certificates spontaneously combust?
It probably seemed OK at the time. But it wasn't really.

Wow! So it's all a huge hoax then. Thanks for setting my mind at rest so I don't have to worry about the world we'll be leaving to our grandchildren.
I only have one bollock, and I have no vested intersts
No, not in terms of climate. You do need to worry that if its run on windmills and solar panels, by ArtStudents™ it will revert to the stone age though
Wow, 5 or 6 pages quoted to add a couple of lines, need some scissors?
Much like tobacco companies said that smoking was good for you.
I can assure you, even art students will want access to their mobile phone and the internet. It's stupid utter denial to think otherwise.
Even your German green friends are reconsidering the future of nuclear power. Or are they now engineers and no longer art students?
True, you don't have any children and don't give a s*it how you'll leave the planet to the next generation.
It was s*it wasn't it? CDs were fantastic in comparison, it was a delight when they came about.
I used to hire CDs and record them on cassette. Unfortunately it was many years before home digital recording was practical, especially since content publishers effectively stopped DATs. (DATs only survived as DDS computer backup format.)
As I recall, at some point I went to the trouble of reading actual published comment/reply sequence on the hockey stick kerfuffle. Unsurprisingly, the actual scientific debate was more complex and nuanced than many would lead you to believe, and would, on the whole, be unlikely to sell as many books as more exciting claims.

Perhaps you should read it. Mann has a reputation for being litigious; I'm sure if there was anything incorrect in the book he would have gone to court over it.
Metal cassettes were pretty acceptable, but they were expensive.
I started being able to make digital copies from CD when I got my first Windows 3.11 PC in 1994. I had both DCC and Minidisc before that (still have them, somewhere), but didn't have the facilities for digital connection between player and recording machine. I'd have had to buy a new CD-player with digital out.
