Working with our client we were asked to scan a transparency negative of The Temeloes with their girlfriends.  We can only assume that someone was watching the photographer and quickly took their own image.  But rather exciting to convert. The Tremeloes  are an English  beat group  founded in 1958 in  Dagenham ,  Essex .   They initially found success in the  British Invasion  era with lead singer  Brian Poole , scoring a UK  chart-topper  in 1963 with " Do You Love Me ".  After Poole's departure in 1966, the band achieved further success as a four-piece with 13 Top 40 hits on the  UK Singles Chart  between 1967 and 1971 including " Here Comes My Baby ", "Even the Bad Times Are Good", "(Call Me) Number One", "Me and My Life" and their most successful single, " Silence Is Golden ".

Tapes do not improve with age. Quite the opposite. Corporates, consumer and heritage clients have vast archives of magnetic tape that contain information that needs to be preserved.  70% of all audio-visual material is under the threat of deterioration, damage or obsolescence. From about 1950 through the 1990s, most of the world’s audio-visual was entrusted to analogue magnetic recording tape for archival storage.  Now that analogue magnetic tape has moved into a niche archival market, that we at Oxford Duplication Centre specialise in, it is time to reflect and realise that it is time to start worrying about the remaining lifetime of existing tapes.   Video tapes are fundamentally composed of three layers:   1. the binder layer – magnetic particles responsible for signal quality   2. the substrate – stability, strength and friction support   3. the backing – stability, strength and friction support  Corporate and consumer tapes all share one thing in common: they are magnetic media.
