Below that, does it say "After play, change to Tape 201/Century 21 Programming, Dallas, Texas"?
If so, I just bought on eBay one with the same plastic reel that has the same text. I've been trying to figure out what it is. It has 30-second test tones at the beginning of sides 1 and 2. Recording is quarter-track stereo, 7 1/2 ips.
Here's the weird part. The tape is a dub of 4 jazz LPs. You can hear the needle drop and various LP artifacts including a long scratch. So what is this thing? The seller of my tape obviously hadn't a clue and even mailed the thing in the original tape box, held together with rubber bands.
