   The Paxton Tapes The "Paxton Tapes" consist of several half-inch, four-track magnetic tapes recorded in the spare bedroom of a suburban ranch-style house in central Massachusetts, in 1972 and 1973, on an AMPEX 440 tape machine.
   Gil Markle engineered these sessions, which were animated mainly by the original Zonkaraz musicians Paul Vuona, Ricky Porter, and Joanne Barnard. Many of these songs were recorded direct-to-stereo, mixed on the fly. If there's a hum anywhere, it's probably the dishwasher in the kitchen.
