Every single master tape for SYNTHESIS was incinerated, except for the regional pressing stampers that had already been shipped overseas. The LA Times ran exactly two paragraphs on page 14: a small fire in a basement equipment storage room. They didn't burn the tapes to destroy the music. They burned them to destroy the telemetry recorded on tracks 23 and 24. -- Mike Moreno *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
