Remember that they do CD's , LP's and Open Reel tapes. It depends on the media they are producing. You can send a note to Fritz. He's a very nice guy!

It might possibly be the best sounding tape in my limited collection. I now have a few of the titles on Myles's "Best of the Best" thread and would not hesitate to say this could be better than those.

The Linda Ronstadt tape, IMHO, is not one I would recommend. Though the music is good, the sonic qualities are nowhere near the high standard of every other tape in my collection.
There is a history behind this tape that you may want to read on the Tape Project's Forum before buying. I'm sketchy on the details but the Master Tapes couldn't be found so copies were made from a later tape generation than what is used for all of the other Tape Project releases. Frankly, I didn't know this when I bought it but it certainly explains why this tape doesn't compare to the other excellent TP tapes that I have.

Heard the Alvin recently though. Musically it's nice, sonically it's ok. But wouldn't be a top choice for me. EMMV...Myles B. Astor, PhD, Administrator

Rock, folk, jazz. I've reviewed all the linksyoive posted to web sites selling tapes. Selections ere generally slim but especially in the Rock category.

Yes but hopefully Chad and two other companies whom may also jump into reissuing tape may remedy that issue. If you like electronica, I can recommend the Horch House Yello tape.
