[peel] Reel to reel tapes

[Jimmy Stepek]

Now a lot of the chaps here will be much to young for this but, in the very early 70's, i'd go to some parties were the guys had made up mix tapes on R2R's and the choice of music was just right for when the "substances" started to kick in. One guy had an auto reverse grundig so that he could play both sides without having to change over the reel.None of this messing about with the guys records, you just went with the flow they where projecting. Worked most of the time....

    Now this is a bit nostalgic, but at the end of each tape there is
    that unique reel-reel 'abrupt ending of the recordings' as the tape
    runs out and the last bit goes past the heads   I can almost see the
    reel spinning uncontrollably as the loose end beats itself to death
    until you wake up and switch it off.
