Hello Thumped Heads.
I'm looking to purchase/trade/be gifted blank reel to reel tapes by a kind benefactor.
I have a Ferguson reel to reel ( )
Many thanks.
I think a bandmate of mine has some. I'll ask at practice tomorrow.

Any scoop on the reels?Thanks - I appreciate that!
Ah great - thanks for asking! I have a good few tapes with pre-recorded stuff on them I could record over but the stuff on them is so interesting I wanted to avoid that! I got them with the machine, random folk covers and stuff from the radio, etc. I might find a more boring one and record over that. I better not take any more tapes unless they're blank or my housemates might kill me (they're clunky!)Is that 1/4 inch? He's got 1/2 himself but says he might have some old, old 1/4 inch from way back that could be taped over if that's any good to you?
Lots of people swear by tape, obviously Albini. But it can be a rare enough commodity. I read that when the Waterboys recorded Fisherman's Blues they used up all the tape available in the country at the time. I'd say your best bet would be if you know anyone works in or is studying sound engineering or the like in one of the colleges.

There's a thing on the making of the final magnolia electric company record, recorded live, with Steve Albini in Electrical Audio where SA was remarking how efficient the band were and how little tape they had used.
