The Tape Project is releaseing a series of recordings on 1/4 inch, reel-to-reel, 15 ips, half track, analogue tape.

Their intention is to recreate as closely as possible a "master tape" listening experience without the bother of having to buy a record label.  Recording are made from the original master tapes by what they call a 1 1/2 generation copying process.  As one might expect, the results have received ecstatic praise.  As one might also expect, the tapes cost  more than the average MP3 from iTunes.  And if you don't have a machine to play your tape on, you can buy that as well...
