Fear that what you see is fake: a four-second backing-track loop at Lake Compounce in Bristol, Connecticut in the summer of 1989 froze two performers onstage and revealed that the voices on a multi-million-selling record did not belong to them. How did a normalized industry practice stretching back to 1926 turn a technical glitch into proof that ten million buyers had been sold a lie?
In this episode, we trace the events on that summer night and the industry history that made it possible, following the stuck tape, the MTV camera, and the decision by a producer to use session singers while two men became the public faces-so what happened next?
Person: Fab Morvan
Person: Rob Pilatus
Person: Frank Farian
Date: Summer of 1989
Location: Lake Compounce, Bristol, Connecticut
