It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Commercial tape




Here's the original commercial tape issue at 7½ ips. HDTT doesn't use vinyl transfers unless a better sounding tape source is unavailable. The question becomes the source of the 15 ips tape. It could be from a private collection, a radio station, or LP mastering facility that never returned the copy tape. The sound quality should be excellent.

The sound on the commercial 7½ ips tape, done in England in the late 1950s, is dynamic, with exquisite low level detail, quiet background and a freshness that belies its age. The performance has stood the test of time, lovingly conducted with nice woodwind solos given free rein by the conductor, and is not lacking an exciting last movement.
