Reel to Reel of Syd

Post by mccaramba »

I have come across an old reel to reel called "The Making of the Madcap Laughs" in a job lot of old reel to reels. It got the original case but i am unsure of what is on the actual tape (I am about to buy a reel to reel player to find out. Reel to reels should have the same on the very end of the tape and this doesnt as the end has been cut and a sticker put on saying "side one".

Anyone have any info on this or has heard of a reel to reel of this? I cant find anything online so it must be resaonably rare. Its not on discogs even.

I can send photos if that helps.

thanks in advance. Hoping theres someone out there that knows!

Sounds interesting, perhaps some photos will revive people's memories of it.

So I finally got a hold of a player for it. Its not great quality (might be the player I got). Can anyone tell me if they recognise it?

I hope you didn't pay a lot of money for this as it sounds like somebody just taped songs from Atom Heart mother and madcap using a reel to reel
