Great!

Nice clip.

Interesting producer remark: "They never get that bar right."

And the announcer's, "... the high priests of flawlessness" as the producer lights up a cigarette in the same room as the tape machines. (Of course, that used to be done all the time, and not just cigs...)

Funny how the supply reel is nearly full and the takeup nearly empty at the end of the recording...
