Today I will begin digitizing the recordings made by Ken Robinson during the 1973 Trade Mission to Japan. There are 8 compact cassette recordings.

- #4 - 3/28/73 - Labor Ministry

Given the fact that these are all spoken word programs, I think digitizing at mp3/160 is good enough. I did the first tape as two separate sides in WAV files, but that will really lengthen the digitizing process. For the remainder of the tapes, I will be doing mp3 format, and I will record front and back in one file. I will the divide them up on the computer.
Not sure who, if anyone, might be interested in these recordings. Perhaps there is an article in there somewhere--some kind of economics/labor history article.
