neutral  Maynard Hogg: Japanese FM DJs use this sense when they drag our the old 45s this sense when they drag our the old Elvis 45s, but modern Japanese audiences prefer the digitally *remastered* CDs.

  -> However, the high frequency of "master recording" cannot explain your point.
agree  Mark Kellner: I agree with Daisuke. The definition of the source term at http://www.jva-net.or.jp/jva/videowords/words/genban.html describes it as made of metal or glass for mass production. This is equivalent to "glass master recording."
10 hrs
  -> Thanks for the reference.
agree  Yuriko Daikoku: In a contract between an artist/producer with record companies, original recordings made by the artist/producer is defined as "master recordings (with s)", and after it is lincensed, it becaomes "licensed masters". Ref is a signed contract I have.

neutral  Yuriko Daikoku: We no longer call it "tape" unless it is actually a tape (huge open-reel one with 12 tracks or more). Masters are now exchanged in CD/other digital formats, and are just called masters.
