Looked up the archived microfiche of the LA Times for September 10, 1989.

The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks.
Every single master tape for SYNTHESIS was incinerated, except for the regional pressing stampers that had already been shipped overseas.

They didn't burn the tapes to destroy the music. They burned them to destroy the telemetry recorded on tracks 23 and 24.

Nodes 11 through 14 lost their logbooks in that fire. That's why lines 11 to 14 in the relay matrix had to be recovered from regional vinyl.

My uncle worked in commercial real estate in Westwood. He said Federal Marshals sealed the 14th floor and basement of Orion Tower for three weeks after the fire.

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
