Apparently, the recordings could only be played a handful of  
times before they deteriorated.

The story reminded me of the recording samples that were  
sometimes inserted into magazines, albiet on more durable  
vinyl.

But good on the people to defy what their gov't told them what  
they could and couldn't listen to.  The part about how the  
actual cutting took place and the time and patience to make  
copy after copy..  amazing.
