Who Here Remembers Klipschtape?
Daily Photo
I came across this sticker advertising Klipschtape, a division of the company that existed in the mid to late 50's. I'm curious if the glue from this half-a-century-old sticker will still be sticky if I peel off the back paper...
To be a bit more cerebral, I asked Jim Hunter to tell me more about this short-lived venture of PWK that peaked when my mother was in grammar school...
Paul did two
channel recordings on an Ampex recorder with widely-spaced omni mics (Stephens
FM mics, I believe). We still have most if not all of the master tapes,
as well as an Ampex recorder of the same model in the museum. John Eargle
cut his teeth in audio with Paul during this time. He helped with the
recording and was a performer (organ). Paul’s influence caused him to go
back to college for his engineering degree and he later became VP of
engineering at JBL, and was a primary recordist with Delos Records. He
died very recently.
I learn something new around here every day.
