Fifteen Inches Per Second tells the story of 1/4 inch tape and how it revolutionised the world of recorded sound. From its use by Hitler to broadcast multiple ‘live’ speeches, its huge impact on music through the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and its abuse at the hands of experimental composers, this feature is a well produced bite size history. Listen here. [...] [...] The ever informative Speechification guys bought this excellent radio feature to my attention last week.

Now I want to hear all the early Les Paul multitracking experiments. I’m a little late to the party here, but great program! Now I want to hear all the early Les Paul multitracking experiments.

I added programme two of Who Ate All The Pies? you should have got that, but I don't seem to have the others I'm afraid. I don't think. I'll have another rummage around in the hard drive.

Splendid. Keep it up guys. Out of interest, what happened to the rest of the series about pies, they didnt seem to turn up in my podcast.

It was a mighty beast: as big as a large suitcase in a heavy wooden case covered in black vinyl. I used to huddle over it to keep warm on cold nights. The light from the valves leaking through the air vents was enough to read by. The Goons, Hancock's Half Hour, Ivor Cutler, Tom Lehrer, Round the Horne... If I messed up a tape (which I did quite often) there was a little splicer built-in so I could fix it up.
