[78-L] Iron Mountain Vault Tour

[Michael Biel]

NBC Nightly news did a story on the Iron Mt. Vault in tonight's news.  
They showed an NBC Glenn Miller ET from 6?17?/38, an Elvis master tape 
for Hound Dog with an interesting cue sheet showing takes 23-26 with a 
note "Decca Richmond", 27 "Rock" and 28 "MGM"  with a raised "s" after 
each take number,  the jacket for Sinatra"s Night and Day  PBS 072045 
with 20-1589-A crossed out and touring several different areas  This 
includes mentioning that NBC/Universal "stores its original film reels 
here" like ET, Back to the Future, and Jaws.  They showed a can of a 
timed print for ET, not a negative.  What is "original"?  Was this story 
a way to reduce any problem with the Universal vault fire???

They just put it up as Mining for Elvis Presley Records.
