@Joshua724: At around 58 minutes, your dad talks about a cassette recording he made of the soundtrack for testing at home, and he says he “thinks we still have that”. Were you able to dig that up? I’m sure I’m not the only one here who would like to listen to it…
Not only do I have it, I was planning on loaning it to someone who knew how best to handle it to coincide with the release of this interview. I just forgot to mention that. As such, does anyone know someone who has the proper tape playing equipment to be able to play back this tape at the highest audio quality that it was recorded at? Here’s some stats:
TDK MetalBias 70us EQ MA90
Noise Reduction: DBX
High(CrO2)): 70usThe main emphasis on this tape cassette is that it was recorded with a tape machine that took full advantage of the metal composition on the tape cassette to record the audio track in the best way possible.
Is this a cassette tape or a reel? If it is a cassette, I have a NAK MR1 that has been tuned recently.
We had to look it up to find out that NAK MR1 stood for Nakamichi MR-1. Of which, in that case, as long as the tape heads are aligned to 1983 standards, it should work with the cassette he recorded to. Here’s my email address if you don’t want to post your mailing address to the forum: joshua7241984@gmail.com
Note: I just found out a few hours ago my dad will only rent the cassette for a few hundred dollars. In his mind, because this is the only one of it’s kind in existence, it’s worth way more. The thing is, I’ve been telling him for years about how this is a holy grail for OT fans to be able to have a Pre-SE soundtrack and he’s said that someone would have to have a deck that can handle the quality of this recording. He never once mentioned a price. So, sorry about that. Believe me, I feel like I’ve been thrown a curve-ball from out of nowhere.
