Master Reels are those old actual REELS of tape, some very large, some not so big, but they have to be played on reel to reel players of the Old School STUDIO variety. When we bought all those Stevie Masters in 2001~2005, we had to spend $$$$$$$$ getting them transfered in a studio and then copied to CD for the individual members of the group (everything in Daniella's thread is what we had done then). In the studio, songs were mixed and worked with ~ that's how the a capellas came about; we just stripped the music away from Stevie's vocals. Stevie didn't record them as a capella; we created them after the fact.

Some Reels were falling to pieces, crumbling into dust from the years.

So, if these are Master Reels from Rock A Little, it will also cost the winner a lot of money to have them transfered in a studio as well. So, maybe the winner will want contributions???????? I'd pay!!!

Edit: When I say "we", it was really a very hard~working woman who went into the studio and worked with the technicians to do all of this. SHE did ALL of the hard work, while we just supported the project with $$. Sorry I used the term "we", because creating those Stevie a capellas were 100% HER idea and creations. That's how many of the dance remixes of unreleased songs like "Baby Doll", "The Dealer" and more were done, from the a capellas she worked on in the studio.
