RE: "A Format Tape 202" So what is this thing?

Understood. What I couldn't (and can't) figure out is why anyone would record -- from long-playing records -- the entirety of four reasonably obscure bop albums, both sides. The test tones suggest that the tape wasn't recorded over at some later date, and the sequencing is such that no radio station director in his right mind would play the thing straight through. I wouldn't have had a clue as to the music on the tape except that someone had hand-written the details on sheets of ruled tablet paper.

At the top of the first page is this:

Tape #202/3
12-19-84
Revox 7 1/2 ips 1/4 track
No NR

The four LPs are by Art Blakey, Chet Baker, Jack Wilkins (!), and Elvin Jones. I say they are "reasonably obscure" only because I have thousands of jazz albums from this era but not one of these titles :-)

mrh, is this the same tape you have?
