Tape was truly AWFUL.

CD MUCH better.


Pre-digital (1980ish?) audio recordings were all 'awful'?

Can't say I agree.



No they weren't, there are some excellent recordings around from years
gone by. The tech performance of the recording medium whilst improved
over time isn't the be all and end all of a good recording...

Can't find the link now but theres a pix of an innocent looking tape
machine that was used to record Queen's A night at the opera containing
the famous bohemian rhapsody!, now thats not a good recording;?...
