Lyrec TR532

The Lyrec TR-532 is an analogue 2-inch 24-track analog tape machine. Peter Gabriel used to have one at his Aschombe House home studio for at least a couple of years.

The earliest appearance of the Lyrec in photographs dates to Spring of 1983 during the mixing of Plays Live album with Peter Walsh: Gabriel likely purchased it while in the process of re-wiring & upgrading his home studio, affectionately called 'Shabbey Road'. It was used alongside a modified Studer A80 24-track at the time. However, the Lyrec was replaced with a stock Studer A80 during the early So sessions in Spring 1985.
