There is something just magical about Motown… it was talented writers, musicians, vocalists, producers and engineers – the whole is substantially greater than the sum of the parts.

A little bit of old school nerdiness about a piece of Motown mastering gear

What a fascinating link - specially the bit about cutting at half-speed so you could drive the cutter harder and so get more cutting-depth/amplitude without overheating the cutter.

Motown always understood how to give you the most Decibels for your money!

That driving beat was the basis of Northern Soul.

Happy days or rather nights – sometimes all night – ‘on the scene’.
