€50 7.5ips 2 track. They had a €100 euro demo tape, and a calibration tape but I didn’t have a enough cash on me.

Ooooh nice prices. I could do with a calibration tape too.
The single track R2R that Sam Philips started Sun record’s with.
Had an awesome tour of the studio today and stood on the very spot Elvis sung Rock n Roll for the very first time.

I just got this tape in & was doing a bit of googling into Concertapes.
One thing that came up was that this tape would’ve been $11.95 in 1960 which is $103 in today’s money (£80) which puts things into context regarding the cost of expensive LPs now.

Think the run of the mill tapes I sold in 81 were $10 ish each
I have some re-issue of this on vinyl which sounds ok, pretty good to be fair. I also have a version on CD which is a bit meh.
I’ll be interested to see whether this proves to be the best way to hear it.

Isn’t it available on 8 track?

Almost certainly I’d have thought. Mini Disc & DCC as well no doubt.

While not completely authoritative, Discogs says LP, R2R, cassette, CD, HDCD, SACD, DVD-A and MD. no 8 Track or DCC.

Interesting back story (from Discogs)
The album was intended as an experiment using musical styles Brubeck discovered abroad while on a United States Department of State sponsored tour of Eurasia, such as when he observed in Turkey a group of street musicians performing a traditional Turkish folk song that was played in 9/8 time, a rare meter for Western music. Columbia president Goddard Lieberson took a chance to underwrite and release Time Out. It received negative reviews by critics upon its release, but Despite this, it became one of the best-known and biggest-selling jazz albums, charting highly on the popular albums chart when 50,000 units sold for a jazz album was impressive. It consequently produced a Top 40 hit single in “Take Five”, composed by Paul Desmond, and the one track not written by Dave Brubeck.
Nope, I just didn’t spot it in the list! So only DCC missing then.

It probably wasn’t around as a format long enough for the back catalogues to be mined in depth.
I thought there was a decades long row over the composer of Take Five? Brubek claimed he, at least in part, wrote it.
Wot no DAT?
