" Just to muddy the waters still further, I recall some releases around the early 90's which were advertised as "edited/produced with 20-bit technology for even clearer sound!"
Yes, that was started by Sony with their SBM ( Super Bit Mapping) process. The clever bit was using noise shaping when reducing to 16 bits for CD rather than truncation.
" I had (and still have) some albums with 20/48 and even (IIRC) 20/96 ".
All of the early Decca digital recordings were 20 bit masters. 24 bits per se was IMO more of a brag by the professional equipment manufacturers rather than a requirement (you just don't need a 144dB dynamic range for capturing music). Decca got out of the loop by building their own 20 bit digital recording equipment based around the use JVC video recorders for storage.
The first available digital recorder used for commercial record mastering AFAIK was Soundstream which was 16/50.
