We recently restored a very early magnetic sound recording on paper audio tape from 1947!
The tape was very delicate, it had broken in many places. It was held together with dried up cellophane tape.
We replaced the splices, but there were missing sections. Thankfully there were additional copies.
We digitized the oldest copies, then edited and equalized the missing pieces back into the recording.
The end result was pretty amazing for a 66 year old tape! These are pictures of the actual tape.
Here is a sample of the recording.
