actually would help a friend who was an assistant engineer down at Elektra/Asylum studios on La Cienega Blvd. in Hollywood. I would help dupe tapes on their high speed machines for the executives and stuff gopher stuff like that.I would watch as laquers were being cut for The Eagles THE LONG RUN, The Cars CANDY-O, etc. I was even there when Jackson Browne did RUNNING ON EMPTY, I think, as he was not doing too well dating Daryl Hannah and was medicated if you know what I mean. Kind of threw a tantrum in the other room, IIRC?
I even had a few laquers at the time. It was neat to watch the cutting head do it's thing while everybody was tweaking the board and such. I was in High School at the time and would sneak out of the house and accompany him down there, usually this all took place late in the night.
Those were some fun times. I still have some of their generic blank tapes that we used for the demoing the most recent albums.
I remember once, maybe 79/80, we got in (one of five in the world) a 3M Digital portable tape machines, 1" I think and we were tranferring a double (LP) Classical piece to laquer and the machine backlashed and ate part of this master tape and these guys were all freakin' out. I was kind of clueless and was just sitting in the back keeping my mouth shut, but they weren't too happy. It was a fun time.
