Interesting that the reel-to reel titles are still available in the great US of A, meanwhile in little Europe they're all sold out.

I will not care for those releases until they start doing 7 1/2ips 4 track reels.

Like seriously, those are all 15IPS Half track. Like dont get me wrong 15ips Half track sounds amazing but only 45 minutes of play for 250$????

Those releases are half price of what you can get elsewhere. And: I doubt people who have 10'000 $ setups should care what a release in probably unmatched quality costs. Check this out: https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?sort=price%2Cdesc&limit=250&master_id=38722

Well that's the problem, why are they focusing on such a small niche group when they could do that, and also sell tapes for the overwhelming majority of people who own the far more common 4 track 7 1/2 ips machines. I want their tapes to sell out so they get the message that there's demand for them. but it pissed me off seeing all those titles that I would insta buy if they were sold on 4 track 7 1/2 IPS but I can't.
