I've worked with many studio tape recorders. And o can't fathom that a "error" could break a tape this was unless wou had a sword and while the tape path was not running slices one cut potentially cutting in more than one peice. This story is completely unbelievable in every way Plus a lot of studios would run a backup machine. And being multitrack the take that was recorded was prob just the vocal track

Right. Even after one break the tape tension is lost. The guy claims they picked up all these 30-40 tiny pieces off the floor and had it taped back together and playing in 30 min. lol. It's just an exaggeration. People love these kinds of stories though.
