Bryan Adams Got Lucky With Lost Reckless Master Tapes

09/25/2014
. (Classic Rock) Bryan Adams is to release an expanded 30th anniversary edition of Reckless. It originally launched in 1984 and produced a string of hit singles, including Summer Of '69, Run To You, Heaven and It's Only Love with Tina Turner. But as Adams was planning the remastered release, he discovered the album's master tapes and original artwork had been lost, throwing his plans into chaos.

And it was only thanks to finding a copy of the master tape at home which saved the project from being scrapped. He tells Ultimate Classic Rock: "Not only did they lose all of the artwork, they lost all of the master tapes.

"Luckily, I used to keep a vault of tapes from my sessions. I thought, 'Did I keep a copy of this?' Sure enough, I kept this thing and I've had it in my vault for 30 years.

"We made the transfer to digital and remastered it just in time, because the oxide was falling off the tape." Read more here.
