Lost Blech master tapes recovered
Ironically despite what the promotional advertisement is saying Blech has been hyped to death on the internet for years. There has always been rumblings that once lost Pornoheft tracks would finally make their way to the light of day again. A few months ago in the middle of one of those nights former producer Billy Landigger got an idea that eventually led him to his old box of tapes. They were in a storage building that burned about two years ago and they have been sitting in a soup of decaying wood and cardboard since the fire. He threaded them up anyway, and many of them played quite well. Blech was originally recorded in 2002. As we shall see, there is a long story to tell about disappearing and sometimes refound stereo-mastertapes. The existence of stereo facilities at the time of the recording sessions brings up the question, if Pornoheft recorded in stereo. This question can simply be answered with one word and that word is yes. Pornoheft used a stereo Zenith Trans Oceanic hooked up to a Wollensak Deluxe tape recorder.
