Speaking of tape op and splicing tape, there's a great anecdote in the new
issue from Phill Brown. He was doing a splice on the 2" master of Marley
and the Wailers "I Shot the Sheriff", one of the band member handed him an
enormous spliff, and while he was smoking, a seed popped and sent some hot
ashes onto the tape, which melted several inches of the master, and it was
part that they intended to use. In this day and age of digital editing,
it's good to be reminded of the old days, when you had one chance to get it
right...
