Funny thing about that which I didnt mention earlier. Same as tapes got re-used, so does/did hard disk space. We are going to find out in years to come that lots of digital studio master recordings are just gone because the original producer needed the disk space.

Etc.
Before you ask, yes, this has happened to me with my own work and work that I’ve done for others.
