A black-and-white photograph of Vincent and Patricia Chin listening to a playback at Studio 17. The two are pictured behind a glass partition. Vincent is standing on the right side of the image, wearing headphones and looking at an object he's holding with both hands. Patricia is seated on the left side of the image. She wears a white sleeveless shirt with floral design and a scarf in her hair. She is looking at Vincent and smiling. A third individual is standing between them, his back turned to the camera while he bends slightly to look at a piece of recording equipment. There are shelves, filing cabinets, reels and other recording equipment around the small room as well as on the table in front of Patricia and Vincent. A sign reading [EMPLOYEES ONLY] is in the window in front of Vincent. On the back are inscriptions by Bill Adler with the subject, location, and date.
