Jeez, for under $100 each, I'd sign up for all 63 releases on a subscription basis.
I know some folks have indicated interest in 4-track, 7.5 ips, but come on - these would be 2d generation master dubs. 15 ips 2-track is the way to go, though I'd be OK with 7.5 ips 2-track if that would guarantee getting the project done. I think 2-track is more important than 15ips; the dynamic range improvement on 2-track over 4-track is a big deal. And if I remember correctly, I think a properly-adusted 4-track recorder can play 2-track tapes (??).

Technically, they are, but because of the specs of the track positioning, there is a loss of output on one of the channels. Sorry I don't remember if it's chnl 1 or chnl 2... haven't had a need to remember that in a long time!
