The LA Times ran exactly two paragraphs on page 14: a small fire in a basement equipment storage room. 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. -- Steve Silva "The hatch is open.
