This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

So you're saying that all the musicians used to line up and play their instruments directly into the pressing machine?
Sure there wasn't any magnetic tape involved along the way?

That's exactly what happened in the early days, it was like a gramophone in reverse.

Very much so
In fact in the early 1890s, each recording was a seperate take. Each of the customers would recieve an origiinal, one-off recording.

Fortunate for artists such as Richard Blackwood, who's debut album only sold 16 copies.
