Original old skool beats!
The BBC have released a copy of the oldest computer recorded music known to exist, and judging by the quality, there won't be any discrepancies.
The scratchy, slightly off tune, recordings feature such classics as 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' and 'In the Mood' and are thought to have been captured by the BBC in the Autumn of 1951 during a visit to the University of Manchester.
The recording has been released as a celebration which commemorates the 60th anniversary of 'Baby', the original 'modern' computer.
Been the kind people that they are

I think it'd be interesting to have that recording sampled by a contemporary DJ.
Something like "Baby" vs. DJ Shadow! - 3 years ago
