Nice article in the Herald this morning

Good story in Saturdays SMH with Rick and Turtlerock's restoration of original Johnny O'Keefe masters. Talk about a labour of love both for mastering engineer and record company.
Well done.

What a massive job by the sound of it, I'm very interested in having a listen to the CD or DVD, my next door neighbor told me a bit about what Rick said at the unveiling as he did the AV for the presentation at TurtleRock, lucky bugger got to hear one of the original tapes.

Well done Rick, very important job for Australian archival purposes as well to get back to the source and reveal how it really was meant to sound.

only in The Truth newspaper, Rick - assuming you can be bothered reading past page 3, of course.

Looking at the pic in the article, and not knowing what an Ampex 351 looks like - Rick, I hope you did the traditional thing and made sure that any gear in the photo had nothing whatsoever to do with the work :)
