7-1/2 IPS 4-TRACK 3-ALBUM REEL TAPE

ROXBURY RECORDS ROX I 300 'TRIPLE PLAY’:

THE BITTER END YEARS

3 albums of great music and comedy. One album of folk, one of comedy, one of rock.

This Triple-album 7-1/2 ips 4-track tape is outstanding! The musicians and their selections are the best of the early-60s folk singers who used to play The Bitter End (minus Bob Dylan unfortunately). But for me the REEL kicker is the stunning sound of the 1970's Rock years.

In the world of reel tape sometimes the only way to get a piece of some artists or bands is to find them on a compilation album. Here are a few artists that never recorded on a reel tape like John Prine's "Sam Stone" We all know a Sam Stone :)

The Sound Quality of these rockers at 7 1/2 IPS is OUT STANDING

John Prine - Van Morrison exceptional ! and I had not heard Tom Rush’s cover of Bo Diddley’s 'Who Do You Love' till I heard it on this tape and it’s great! Josh White singing 'One Meat Ball' is another standout.

The sound quality of this tape is s uperb! Some tracks sound better than others but not by much, they all sound excellent. I’d never heard of Roxbury Records till now, and I don’t know what they did to get such great sound quality… but they definitely got it.

The comedy years section is split between side 1 and side 2. Wow, same great sound! Funny too, on side 1, Mr. Veedle by Lily Tomlin is hilarious (Robert Klein and David Steinburg not so much).

Side 2 starts with Woody Allen’s Moose bit, he sounds really young, and the story is very funny. Joan Rivers sounds young too, interacting with the audience. She’s not as funny as Woody but David Frye’s 'Nixon Meets The Godfather' is.
