The Recording of a Tape

George Oldfield played the tape for everyone at a press conference on June 26th 1979. In less than 24 hours 700 people had called hotlines in Halifax, Leeds and Sunderland claiming they knew who the voice belonged to. One curious detail found on the tape was that it had faint scratches on the outer plastic surface which indicated the label had been scraped off. There were gaps of silence during the talking, and further analysis showed these gaps were because the tape had been stopped and started on many occasions. At the very end of the recording there was a song for George Oldfield called Thank You for Being a Friend by Andrew Gold.
