MFSL has been in the news. I first became aware of MFSL in the late 1970s; by 1986 I had placed a project with them.
Herb Belkin was a larger-than life figure. So, here's a link to my memoir of him.

The photo is of Herb (second from the left) circa 1974 with the then line-up of the band Genesis. Herb discovered and signed The Raspberries and Grand Funk Railroad, among others, while working for a succession of major labels before stumbling into MFSL via his connections to Pink Floyd. Rest in Peace, Herb.

Nice article. I've actually got a few of those early MFSL stereo train recordings banging around ...
Thanks for reading! What an unlikely background story the steam train records are, to the legendary "Dark Side of the Moon" remasterings!

Jeff, thanks for reading and thanks for your kind words. I'm staying away from "current events." At least, current events at MoFi. I should put up a new Lounge thread about a CD reissue last month, of my one MoFi project (from 1986)--Arturo Delmoni's "Songs My Mother Taught Me."
amb, john
