Hello Mike!

MP> Well, I'll be.  I have never heard of that but it sounds
MP> like an interesting way to do it.  I'd have never thought

Apparently, the recordings could only be played a handful of
times before they deteriorated.

The story reminded me of the recording samples that were
sometimes inserted into magazines, albiet on more durable
vinyl.

But good on the people to defy what their gov't told them what
they could and couldn't listen to.  The part about how the
actual cutting took place and the time and patience to make
copy after copy..  amazing.
