Hello, i would just like to add that IMO there is nothing wrong with
producing tapes that run at 7.5 IPS, and possibly even 1/4 track as opposed to
half-track (i have both). Now we're talking about ONE reel of tape, and
it could in some cases even be a plastic 7 inch reel, instead of two 10 inch metal reels,
and (also IMO) a slipcase (really just a cardboard box (deluxe packaging?). I have two Tape Project tapes, and they sound very good, but the metal reels are out-of-round, the tape on the boxes was peeling off all over the place (i spent quite a bit of time repairing them), and
the Sonny Rollins tape has 4 songs per reel- no sooner do you sit down when it's time to get up again, rewind reel #2, and listen to that one for another 15 minutes. Luckily i bought these used, and i would like to buy more of them, especially the Linda Rondstat, But at $450 plus shipping i can suffer the 8-9 quality of the sound from the redbook CD.
