Fifteen Inches per Second

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A celebration of quarter-inch magnetic tape - an invention that revolutionised the whole world of recorded sound. Users of tape, including the Beatles' sound engineer Geoff Emerick and composer Jonathan Harvey, explain its colourful history, its fabulous sonic possibilities and the simple poetry of a brown oxide-covered tape gliding past at 15 inches per second.
