I got a cassette the other day and its a pretty good album from Gallery....

The earliest cassette I have seen with Dolby (It says 'DOLBY B' on it) - 1972

It was on one of those early 70s cartridges by Ampex!

Now Ampex used to put out excellent quality 8 tracks,casettes,etc..

They had paper labels on the cassettes and they were goregously made and ran well....... In the early 70s they started printing it right on the cartridge itself.......

This one didnt play well,it was aweful..... I opened it and found out why!!

NO BLASTED ROLLERS IN THE SHELL!!!!!!!!!

What kind of a moron would put a cassette together W/O ROLLERS and expect it to run well??

It has a nice pad in it but it didnt play worth shit!

I like the band and songs and luckily I had another cartridge that DOES HAVE ROLLERS and I put it in that one.......

I will say: This was the EASIEST AMPEX TAPE I HAVE HAD TO OPEN! (Usually Ampex tapes are put together so well you cant take them apart w/o ruining them.. (Expecially Ampex 8 tracks!!!!))

2 songs I knew instantly: I believe in Music and nice to be with you.......
