HERE'S A RARE FIND. This is the legendary Audiotape 2551 R (R for reel) red oxide recording tape. Upon its' introduction in the early 50's, this was THE tape to use. It had the highest signal to noise ratio and highest saturation level of any tape at that time. It's still coveted to this day by rock-n-roll and rhythm and blues analog fanatics. It is used exactly the same way to "blast" a really hot signal onto the tape and get that inimitable analog/tape "calculated distortion" This reel is on Audiotape logo 7" aluminum teardrop 8mm movie film type reel.
