Guest ariceffron Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 90125 by YES-- 1983 is this legit? were major labels still putting these out in the early 80s, when was production halted? Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Hmmm.... Very interesting. Anybody know?? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Damn you people are young! Heck, I was still fantasizing about a reel to reel recorder at that time...never did manage to take the plunge, though. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Ahem. What I meant to say is I don't see why not; I know you could still join the reel-to-reel version of the Columbia Record Club that late. Quote

JSngry Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 I dunno man - 1983 seems a bit late for reel-to-reel as anything other than an extreme niche market... Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!!!!!!!! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 I dunno man - 1983 seems a bit late for reel-to-reel as anything other than an extreme niche market... I've always preferred my niches to be as extreme as possible...and with extra chees! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Oh; wait...that's nachos....nevermind. Quote
JSngry Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Ok, wasn't this Yes' "comeback" album of sorts? 1983, the industry was riding high (in a number of ways...), and MTV had just begun to be big. So I'm thinking that part of the publicity blitz behind this type of album by this type of band might include releasing in on every possible format. There might even have been an 8-track version (that's entirely a guess, though). But I'd also think that LP and casette were the only two formats that got regular distribution. Moose, do you REALLY remember being able to join the the reel-to-reel version of the Columbia Record Club as late as 1983? If so, then that might be what this is - a "record club issue". I can guarantee you that there weren't no reel-to-reel sections in the record stores in 1983! At least not anywhere I went... Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 EVEN 8 TRACKS IN THE 80S ARE NOT AS RARE AS REEL TO REELS FROM THE 80S FOR SURE-- I HAVE LETS DANCE AND EVEN DURAN DURAN: RIO ON 8TRACK..... Quote
