Thank you to the OP to the link to NY Times Magazine Feature article which is separate entity from the Newspaper, however it is owned by the parent of the NY Times Newspaper and distributed during the Sunday edition. The magazine focuses on feature articles.

Upon reading the feature article all the way through you learn they UMG withheld the true extent of the damage to recordings from the public and facilitated a campaign of misinformation of the true extent of the fire damage. You learn the ownership debate, issues, and value of the master tapes along with how they are used to re-issue such classic albums such as Sgt Pepper. You also learn while UMG advised artists individually, they never publicly came clean on the true extent of the losses that day. Overall, very sad for those artists whose original work was lost.

Thanks again for posting!
