Quick stab at the topic: did anyone encounter publications detailing what the studios of 70's/80's were tuned to? Seemingly all the records I encounter from the period, assume a fairly decent bass boost presence; of course, unless one faces a remaster. It'd be interesting to see some actual room curves of the decades past.

We could, of course, assume that everyone tried to tune to B&K curve, but actual measurements would be enlightening.

There's a wealth of knowledge in the BBC archives. I've linked here to the 1970s archive, but you can select any decade of interest on the right left, and then scroll through the various papers and reports.
