- Thread starter eddisc
- Start date
That's a nice pickup. You might be shocked to see what that Lightfoot reel goes for, wish I had it.

Well, it seems to have morphed over the years (from CONTENT to packaging); but that's just the nature of life too...

Picked up a few user-recorded R2R tapes at the local church rummage sale. One of them labeled “Side 1: Apollo 11 Side2: Moon Walk” so I popped it on the old Rust Bucket and started listening to the then live audio of Apollo 11 coming out from behind the moon getting ready to fire the retros in preparation for undocking the Lunar Excursion Module, on the way to landing on the Moon. Oh. My. Gosh. Wow. Recorded at 3.75 IPS. Gonna sit down with a tub of popcorn and listen to both sides.

Hey hey, I just ventured into R2R territory (posted a separate thread), but I think this would fit into this thread...
Just got this box of 35qty. 7" reel tapes. Paid less than the cost of a good breakfast at a diner.
All needle drops of 70's bands. So far only listened to a couple and they are obviously somebody's backups and recorded very well. All Scotch 212 and Ampex 641. The Scotch tapes sound much better so far. The Ampex have a little roll-off on the high end that is noticable.

<Well how's this?>
Consider for the moment, the title of the category; then - reading the description, I don't see how the 201 (which I also own) fits.
So not being 'tape' it has no 'content' to be discovered. " WHAT I propose is a list for newly discovered recordings found on tapes acquired from some other party."
But HEY - its the web and pretty much 'whatever' seems to be the rule of the day/platform. Not gonna cry over it. The fact that there are 24 pages speaks for itself.
Enjoy the deck; my orig one (NEW) was 'given-up' to former wife. 2nd one is just as nice less wear even... playing R2R more these days
Now IF the 201 had an ADVENT Cro2 tape of Dylan's ROLLING THUNDER REVIEW show in Augusta, Me....

I had the LP version of that when was a kid. I remember how horrible it sounded.

I bought these 40+ year old Maxell UD XLI cassettes to record on, but they have recordings of music I really love, and they sound really good. I can't bring myself to record over them

I know its nothing rare or anything like that but just bought my first cassette tapes since the mid 90's just a bit ago at a thrift store for 10 cents, a 1992 copy of the album "Core" by Stone Temple Pilots, I know to most that doesn't seem very exciting in the least but to this 90's kid who grew up on cassette tapes and grunge music it made my freakin day to say the least, now I just gotta go to my music room and listen to it on a 1995 Sony R2500 and blast it thru some 90's AR M2's and sit back and let the sound take me back to 1992 when i was 11 yrs old, I love bein so easily amused lol!!!!
Picked these up off CL the other day, they'd been hanging around for ages
