Each writing/producing team was required to come up with 5 new songs per day. To accomplish this, there was a large area with a lot of little rooms, each with a piano and tape recorder.
Each team submitted their “5 best” at a weekly production meeting.
Each team got approval to record the best two of their submissions.
Usually, only one of the two tunes would emerge complete from the recording process.
Each finished tune was mixed (with about 15 different mixes by several people).
Each finished mix was turned into an actual record.
The Quality Control department listened to each record and picked out the “A” side that was released and promoted.
