According to The Daily Beast, the devastating fire at Universal Studios Hollywood in June 2008 was widely reported at the time – but, until now, it wasn’t publicly known that it destroyed a huge catalog, including some of the most important music recordings in the history of popular music.
The news coverage of the event implied that it was just film that had been burned and only copies of original work that weren’t irreplaceable.
However, The New York Times Magazine reports that a storehouse of master music recordings, the original recordings from which all subsequent copies are derived, was destroyed. яндекс
