About Isolated Track Footage

Isolated tracks strip a recording down to a single instrument or voice, revealing details that the full mix conceals — the breath between phrases, the subtle variations in timing, the studio bleed, and the human imperfections that give recordings their life. These clips are essential listening for anyone who wants to understand how great records were made.

The 1970s in Music

The 1970s was the golden age of the album and the arena tour. Prog rock, punk, disco, funk, reggae, and singer-songwriters all flourished simultaneously. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, and The Ramones were pushing music in radically different directions. The decade also saw the rise of music television and concert filming — meaning more behind-the-scenes footage survives from the 70s than any previous decade. Studio sessions, rehearsal tapes, and tour documentaries from this era are some of the most sought-after footage in music history.
