One evening, the owner called and told me to come immediately: a once-in-a-lifetime performance was about to happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe musicians had been friends since childhood and had learned to play music together. As adults, they had gone their separate ways, each becoming an A-list player with a career spanning North and South America. By chance, they found themselves back in their childhood town at the same time and decided to play together again for old times’ sake. One of them called the owner of Milestone and asked whether they could perform a set that evening. Naturally, he said yes—and that spontaneous reunion is how this recording came to exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything was prepared for an ambitious three-LP, two-CD release, but we decided not to issue it at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears later, when I began changing my label’s focus from CD to reel-to-reel, I contacted the bandleader and asked to release the recordings. He told me it was impossible. Two members had since signed major recording contracts and feared legal action from their labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a year of trying to persuade him, I made one final attempt. I sent him the audio files and promised that if he still said no after hearing them again, I would leave the project alone. He called me an hour later, and we began putting the release together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other musicians still couldn't agree to appear under their own names, so I proposed a solution: we would create a new identity for the ensemble and never reveal who actually played on the recording. They agreed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRAD1AL was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music can finally be heard. The identities of the remarkably accomplished musicians behind it will remain a secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFormats and Technical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7.5 IPS edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 7-inch reel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour-track stereo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAB equalization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference fluxivity: 250 nWb\/m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\/Side B playback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLPR90 tape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15 IPS edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 10.5-inch reel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo-track stereo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIEC equalization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference fluxivity: 355 nWb\/m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-direction playback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLPR90 tape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal multitrack recording: digital\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinal mix: analog\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded, mixed, and mastered by Shai Drori\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuplicated in real time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach copy is individually serialized with its production date and the recorder used\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order and typically dispatched within 4–6 weeks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Music On Reels","offers":[{"title":"7.5 IPS – 4-track stereo","offer_id":53831757070701,"sku":"RAD1AL-075-4T","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 IPS – 2-track stereo","offer_id":53831757103469,"sku":"RAD1AL-150-2T","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/0881\/4957\/files\/RAD1AL-cover-10.5-inch-web.jpg?v=1788122817","url":"https:\/\/musiconreels.com\/products\/rad1al","provider":"Music On Reels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
