Baffled
Any thoughts on why they've not gone down this line? Are the tapes lost or have they all been leased out to other companies?
It's a good question. Lots of the Miles catalogue has had the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab treatment which suggests the tapes are still around. The most recent Miles Smiles states:
