This trio is trying out the latest in electronic technology - a reel-to-reel tape recorder. There is no record of what is being said or sung. Maybe belting out a 60s pop song .
In the 1960s, most home recording was done on reel-to-reel tape recorders. While cassette tapes were invented in 1957, they were used primarily for office dictation machines (dictaphones). In the mid-1960s cassette players for home use began to be introduced. While the first 8-track tape players were introduced in 1966.
Neither the cassette or the 8-track were widely used until the 1970s.
