The Record Industry's Digital Storage Crisis
Last year, the Beggars Banquet label unearthed the multitrack master
recordings of the Cult's classic 1985 album, Love, for a planned
deluxe edition. The LP was an early digital recording, and to the
label's shock, one master was unplayable; the other contained only 80
percent of the album. “That's the problem with digital," says Steve
Webbon, head archivist of the Beggars Group. “When it goes, it's just
blank. It's gone."
