I completely agree. By the time BC introduced their tapes, tape technology was advanced to the point that noise reduction was unnecessary. The requirement for an outboard decoder for most tape enthusiasts may have doomed the BC venture from the outset.

Three notes:
I had the pleasant opportunity to visit the BC facility in NYC and received a personal tour of the premises by one of the owners. Got to see the duplicating room in action ..
The Tower Annex in New York remaindered much of the BC catalog in the late 1980s. At the time, I picked up about a dozen titles, but haven't listened to them in years.
I have *never* heard a BC tape with the Dolby decoding ..
