Paranormal Adept
I've been listening to the infamous Halt tape recording. Does anyone think this might in fact be not one, but 2 separate recordings joined together at the odd little piano piece? Perhaps an audio expert could tell for certain.
 
That is a piano as it would sound if recorded to a domestic tape recorder or Dictaphone.
Now the audio in question sounds like a “punch in” to me as the voice cuts away to the piano and comes back with all the appropriate mechanical sounds.
What I mean by this is the run up noise that a tape recording makes as the tape first hits the record head.
To me this sounds like an accidental punch in and not a tape splice, although I have to admit the recording is awful.

As for the authenticity of the recording itself I really have to have a first or second gen copy non-compressed to tell you if the back ground environment matches the story meaning: was it really recorded outside, dose the voice distortion match the recorders of the time etc.
