CBC:

Last week, late at night, when Rob Frith was wrapping up a work session at a friend’s studio, he decided to throw on one last tape for a listen.

It was labelled “Beatles 60s demos” and had been sitting around Neptoon Records, one of Vancouver’s most well-known record shops, unplayed. Frith, who owns the shop, had never listened to it, but had brought the recording to his friend’s studio that night, knowing he had the right player for the tape.

”I thought it was just a reel-to-reel tape that somebody had put bootleg things on,” Frith said.

But when the tape played, the quality of the sound was clear and bright.
