German electronic music star Klaus Schulze did the same with a Revox tape recorder during the seventies. But I guess that the first to use that in Europe was Marino Marini in the fifties.

First in Europe ? Nah... Listen to Bert Weedon's early efforts, particularly Stranger in Fiction... ( Jim Nugent help !!! )
And ... in fact a million others that used a slapback echo way before that.
The milestone was when there were 3 repeats as opposed to two.
That meant that re-generation was involved.
i.e. the playback head was fead back to the input.

Bert Weedon's "Stranger than fiction" was in 1956, Marino Marini started to use echo before, in 1954 or 1955.
