I used to read music magazines and sometimes they would give a "tape recipe" to do your own cassettes. Some of the best I encountered are on this page. These are recipes to record your own cassettes, thus I am not selling the tapes themselves. I'm interested in tape recipes from you all, so email me if you have a good one. I'll post it here for all to follow. I have a few of my own I plan to post. Until, enjoy the stroll down memory lane.
These tape recipes were done by the Mad Peck and his crew from '72. Please note there is nothing for '58 and '64.
