It seems rather obvious that in preparing Corroboree for DVD~A, Classic Records 1999 release also used the 1/2" Masters, as well.....although hard to tell as there is No mention in the booklet accompanying the disc.
As in all tape based mediums, even 35mm was susceptible to oxide flaking/torn sprockets which may account for Classic Record's inability to use those stems.
As in ALL things, nothing lasts forever and the definition of "archival" can indeed be viewed as MOOT!
