Here are the facts. Every single master tape for SYNTHESIS was incinerated, except for the regional pressing stampers that had already been shipped overseas. The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks. They didn't burn the tapes to destroy the music. They burned them to destroy the telemetry recorded on tracks 23 and 24. -- Dmitri Novak *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
