During the 1950s and 1960s, tape was the premium media for audio. It was available in stereo format several years prior to the commercial availability of stereo phonograph records, and did not suffer from pops and scratches even when played and handled multiple times. Prerecorded tapes were marketed to audiophiles and other serious listeners as a better-quality alternative to records. Casual listeners of today would notice no difference in quality between the best tape recordings of the early 1960s and the CDs of today.
I have no idea about the copyright, but this reminded me of the "song of reproduction" by Flanders and Swann - "I've an opera here that you shan't escape / on miles and miles of recording tape..."
I will have to dust off tht Tandberg :-)
