Why wasn't this style more popular in the 80's?
They look so much better than a standard cassette, the cost to make these couldn't have been much more than the plain ones.

Not sure, maybe cause they looked too '70's? I don't recall seeing them in the stores though.

I do remember liking those cheap ass memorex with the funky yellow and glowy paint stripes...so bad yuck....or high quality tapes when i needed to make a first recording off a new ozzy album or such. Funny stuff

I picked up 10 of those cheap Eagle reel to reel tapes yesterday, but your catch make them look shiat....

In my experience, reel tapes are noisier than regular tapes. That might be why more manufacturers didn't sell them.

Dont feel bad about them. I have 170 from them too. They are not bad at all and actually love the idea of a tape made for one single per side .
Thanks all dudes. I love reels and i remember good -the Universum and Teacs in the shops. Use to buy some of them from time to time, but the Universum were like twice the price of the type IV cassettes so was pointless back than. Not talking about the Teac - studio 52 was 4,75 dollars here in Bulgaria. Way too much back than. Use to have 15 teacs and loved them back then. sadly left em in my sister apartment when i was abroad and she trowed em away . Teac work good enough tho. Agree with Reli - some reels are way too noisy, even on the beginning and the end slowing badly down the record. But who cares anyway. They are damn cool Sadly have just two Teacs now . Damn love the colored cheapies too anyway. They look so good on colorful boxes

Yeah I have that tape too. I like it, but they should have printed the spirals in the opposite direction. When you play the tape, the spirals rotate outwards instead of inwards like they should.
