"...Of course things did go wrong sometimes. You know, the groove with a high level of dynamics needs more space. It can be done by the cutting machine automatically. We did it manually. I would say to the technician who was cutting the lacquer: 'Here comes the loud passage' and he then varied the distance between the grooves. It could happen that we were busy and that I had still three more minutes of music on the tape and he had already reached the final groove. And then everything had to be done from the start. But we also have cut lacquers that contained a maximum of information, almost 30 minutes for one side." -Wilma Cozart Fine
