me too; count me in on any efforts which might be appropriate to protect the Studer parts or info access.

Thanks for the kinds words Mike. I'll suggest that this isn't something one would categorize as a funk album of the Parliament/Funkadelic ilk, even though the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section certainly had the funk groove down to a science. It's more a definitive soul album, by gospel giants, with a massive funk (and yeah, reggae in some places) groove. To pull that all together in one album is what makes this one so special.thanks for the correction; i guess i was caught up in the music and wasn't thinking straight. i love gospel/soul and listen to it often, and guess i was just having a senior moment. however you catagorize it; it's great music and sounds superb.
Hmmm, it is very strange that the tapes would be head out rather than tail out. The tapes are recorded onto the hub and never leave it before they are shipped. It would be very unlikely that they were rewound onto another hub after recording. Was it perhaps instead that the tail was out, but the flanges were on such that the engraved flange was on the backside and the reel had to be flipped over to rewind it for the first play? That could happen if the guys putting together the reel lost track of the flanges when mounting them - and easily remedied by rewinding the tape all the way off, flipping the reel and rethreading the tape on the properly flipped reel for the first play. If that is the case I will ask the guys to be a little more observant when they mount the flanges and when we QC the package.
