Just curious if anyone knows much about this tape. I can find individual albums, but I can’t seem to locate this double pack. I got it in a bunch of stuff I bought. I bought 30 real to reel tapes and a Akai CR 80 D ss 8 track player.. Along with aan Akai GX 280 d ss reel to reel. Some head phones and a bunch of misc wires plus some microphones. All for 175.00 dollars. All excellent tapes and amazingly everything operates well. Anyway, just curious if this tape is somewhat hard to find.
By the way, I came back and built this little shelf for everything. I couldn’t find anything the way I kind of want to set it up so I made it myself. Turned out pretty decent actually.

I down loaded both albums using iTunes and the sound was much superior to the 1/4 trk tapes I had for many years. I played the tapes with Revox machines. All tape and video tape is gone along with the machines now. The great tapes were dubbed either to CD or to DVD using line doubler and stabilizer with noise reduction and picture enhancements. Audio tapes were touched a bit using DBX 3bx a program equalizer and parametric notch filters if required. .

Nice. Tape is pretty fun, enjoy your new stuff. IMO a great tape beats any other type of reproduction, YMMV.

I was gonna snoop around Discogs and see if I could find that, but the site is halfway down atm, so I'm of no help there. Cheers, enjoy the music. :thumbsup:
 
Welcome to the world of R2R. I don't know anything about the double album tapes but I love Martin Denny. Prerecorded R2R tapes tend to be rare, outside of the crappy Sing Along With Mitch stuff. I've got a small box full but the good music has never been easy to find.
