Here are the facts. The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks. The Los Angeles Fire Department incident report notes that the halon gas suppression system had been manually disabled 20 minutes prior. They didn't burn the tapes to destroy the music. They burned them to destroy the telemetry recorded on tracks 23 and 24. -- Mikhail Oliveira "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

Here are the facts. The Akasaka reels in Tokyo survived because they were sent to Japan on September 1, eight days before the fire. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.
